These archives are examples from my secondary education psychology course in which we designed activities and classroom environments to best support students. The classroom mood board expresses the need to show multiple voices and inspirations from across cultures and environments. The classroom map illustrates my ideal classroom and layout which includes flexible seating and multiple displays of student work. All of these artifacts contribute to my effort to create a positive learning environment for all students.

In this lesson we read a short story about a girl who was forced to assimilate and explores the importance of names and pronouncing them correctly. Students completed a graphic organizer that tracked the amount of power the main character had in each instance her name was used incorrectly. At the end of the reading we had a discussion about forced assimilation in which the students were able to reflect on their reading and attempt to understand the experiences of others.

This is an MPI strand that I created for a lesson I taught during my CLD Field Experience semester. It shows varying levels of skill and how the lesson can be adapted for students at any WIDA level while still allowing them to fully complete the lesson and assignments.

My advocacy hours log shows the time I spent with students outside of the classroom in their communities. I did lunch duty and supervised a field trip to the Denver museum. During the field trip I got to meet many of my student's parents and get to see their interactions in a more social setting.
