Being a STEP Member

This is my second year at Wheatley and when I was told by our Assistant Principal, Ms. Pat Williams, that there’s a meeting after our students were put on the bus, I was a bit nervous. But then her note said that the meeting was about “exciting possibilities” and so I went to the meeting with a mixed feeling of nervousness and excitement.

Briefly, Ms. Pat explained to me and two other teachers, Ms. Benita Lance and Ms. Linda Mitchell, about the STEP program and how the school intends to apply to be a part of the program.


We were asked to prepare a lesson plan that incorporates the use of technology. As I was preparing that, my mind couldn’t help but think about the “exciting possibilities” that Ms. Pat was referring to. I had a vague feeling that STEP program will definitely change my classroom for the better.
