About me
My name is Alverine Rawlins Kan or Allie/Al for short. I possess a master’s Degree in Business Administration and I am attached to one of the high schools in the territory of the United States Virgin Islands. In today’s world, students are exposed to a wealth of information on the internet, and versatile with the computer at a very young age. For instructors, the traditional ways of teaching are not very effective as before, and teaching is becoming more and more demanding, as we try to incorporate and utilize different methods of teaching to meet the technological, general needs and learning styles of this generation. I am a business teacher and so my focus spans across math, communication and technology. Each day I am charged with the responsibility to ensure that my teaching strategies are of such that no student is left behind, and that each of those students regardless of their background, strengths, deficiencies are able to participate, learn, and contribute to the learning process.
In lieu of the above, I chose this course to find additional ways of engaging my students, especially those who may struggle with some form of deficiency in learning. At times I have to spend a lot of time preparing effective lesson plans to ensure that students have the knowledge and skills required for them to function in a very competitive world. As business teachers, we try to go above and beyond to make these students feel included in the learning equation. I am also affiliated with the Stem Institute and NAF Academy, where our goal is to train and prepare students to pursue studies in Technology, Math and Engineering, ensuing that they are compatible with other young people to take up jobs in these areas, as there is a high demand for them.
