In their own words...
Teacher Spotlight
Camp Hill senior Emma Chaplin, The Lion Foundation’s intern during the 2021-22 school year, recently interviewed Scott Barrows, the Math Foundations teacher at the Camp Hill Middle School. Mr. Barrows recently received one of our grants to purchase Lego Robotics Kits.
CHAPLIN: Hi Mr. Barrows, thank you for meeting with me today. First, I’d love to know: what is your favorite thing about your job? |
|
CHAPLIN: And how many students are in your classrooms are currently using the Lego Robotics Kits?
BARROWS: They are on the wheel cycle, so I see them for about 7 weeks. There’s about 20 kids in each wheel. It’s about 120 kids.
CHAPLIN: How has the funding from The Lion Foundation made your classroom better?
BARROWS: I’ve gotten a lot of funding from The Lion Foundation, so I’m very appreciative of them. We had iPads that we got in here, and they were really helpful for differentiating instruction to the kids. My classroom is a little bit different from other classes in that we’re trying to address each individual kid and not necessarily the group as a whole. With Lego Robotics, it can do the same thing — each group of two or three kids gets their own robot, and they code differently, and you see how they can accomplish the same tasks.
