Name: Jada Rachal
Occupation: I am and have been a 7th grade middle school math teacher in the Plymouth-Canton Community School district for the last 3 years.
Future plans: My future plans and aspirations include using my knowledge of tech and tech tools to better improve my delivery and goals for my students progress. I want for my students to see that technology can be implemented across domains and the importance of being able to shift practices depending on what topics are being covered.
Personal growth: My perspective has changed drastically. Initially I found it difficult to incorporate technology in a way that was less reliant on rote knowledge; however, being immersed into such a strategically planned program has allowed me insightful ways to incorporate different frameworks, strategies, and other technological components. I have grown not only has a student within the program, but as a teacher.
