Problem of Practice

I am focusing my design thinking around my English Language Arts curriculum that is currently in use. I would like to focus specifically on the writing aspect of the curriculum. I think that our writing curriculum is not meeting the needs of our students. Our current test scores also agree with my reflection. Students need to work specifically on capitalization, punctuation and idea organization. As an ELL department, we have made a plan to try and focus on different writing strategies that will help my students improve their writing. I am hoping through the design cycle, I will be able to develop more strategies and ways to integrate technology to improve students writing. I also hope that the cycle can help us focus and guide our research process.

My name is Amy Roubal. I am 27 years old and teach 6th grade in Green Bay, WI. I teach at a International Baccalaureate School. I teach social studies and English language arts to English language learners. I have been married for two years and have a two year old black lab puppy! I can also speak Spanish, although I don't consider myself fluent. I am also an athletic director of a small Catholic school in Green Bay. I love to read books for fun but never have enough time. That is my goal this summer to read lots of books for fun while sitting outside at my pool.

I'm excited for this class and am looking forward to using all of the previous classes information and skills during this.
