Deejay's Application of STILTS
About Phoenix
ROSEBURG
Charter School
180 students
8-12 grade
100% at risk
My approach with this population
Getting to the point where students are open to being challenged can be difficult
Meet them where they are
Most students can only think of food: so I use that as a hook as much as possible
Other "hooks": music, art, sports
(Anything that could be considered distracting)
Successful Lessons

Ice Cream!
