Ms. Laurie's Top Biography

After my students had written a biography, they published them using Movie Maker. It was an absolutely amazing project. They were so proud of their work and did a fabulous job. Most of my students speak English as a second language, so for them to be able to narrate their own video was very exciting for them. Push the play button to start the video and let me know what you think.

The Salt Lake City School District has developed an equity team in order to ensure all students are receiving the best education possible. We, as a team, have looked at disseminated information that clearly shows an achievement gap within minority sub-groups, specifically black children. This team is comprised of several school teacher, administrators, counselors, and district personel. We have met monthly for the past two years to discuss ways to close this gap. Take a look at one of our newletters.
