I'm making a home visit next week because a parent couldn't attend a teacher-parent conference. I think when you need to contact the parent, it shouldn't always be on school turf. And as a new teacher, I was given this bottom track, and I brought them all the way to the top, to compete with the so-called gifted and talented children. And that to me was a success story. Yes, they do.
Students have access to math and literacy computer programs in the classroom.
It must be so rewarding to see the change in their self esteem over the year. Yes, I really do, especially Darrin. A lot of my kids don't believe in themselves. It's really hard, especially on test day. For example, when taking standardized tests, I have one student, Darrin, who becomes very frustrated in the middle of a test, and will literally shut down.
