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.
My Students
My students need to apply to colleges all over the country, yet have limited access to computers and college resources.
My students attend an urban high school, 9th-12th, in a school district with declining finances.
There is very limited access to new technology and equipment. My students are hard working with a goal to attend college. The school has excellent daily attendance by both students and staff.
My Project
The College Corner will provide the students an area in the classroom in which I can supervise, individually, each student applying for college and writing scholarship applications. My direct assistance will help support my students researching the best colleges for their potential major. I will be able to actually follow through with providing the resources and materials right in our room. I am requesting a wireless netbook computer, college resource books, and organizational supplies.
Your support of this project will make my classroom a "college going culture" room where students know that I have high expectations for their future and so do all the donors who support our classroom projects.
We will be able to research the best majors and newest scholarship offers available to them through our on-line "College Corner". This project will make a difference in my students' lives now and in the many years to come.
