Celebrate Black Teachers and Students

This project is part of the Black History Month celebration because it supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of the students are Black.

I am a 4th grade inclusion teacher at a title one school. My eight special needs students in this inclusion model are in need of some materials that would help them get to grade level in reading. Our school is in a low income area so advanced technological tools are seldom seen at our school.

In the present setting, my students are trying desperately to comprehend, summarize, evaluate, and create from the current stories they are reading. I have noticed some severe difficulties in the understanding and comprehension because of the level of reading. Without comprehension my students will have even more difficulties moving through future rigors of evaluation and creation. The wireless listening center, and lower level books would allow all of my students the opportunities to expand their thinking further up the levels of rigor. With stories they could read or listen to, it would be possible for them to debate topics,defend ideas and justify thinking. My students would be able to reach the final cognitive level.

I believe that with the listening center and differentiated student level books my students will strive. It will provide them with goals that are attainable, while also providing them with more challenging assignments. Instead of just understanding stories, students will be able to choose views and defend them. This will provide more than just another story, instead a new experience.

Throughout school districts, the current theory of student knowledge is Bloom's Taxonomy. I agree with this theory and believe that my students can reach the Evaluation level. Although my students have special needs, and are without resources, I am going to get them to this level. Your funds will provide a walking stick in our journey to evaluation.
