Exploring the Chinese Perspective on Economics
Hooray! This project is fully funded
Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month
This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because
it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.
My Students
I've always encouraged my students to see beyond the classroom, to apply what they're learning to the world around them, to stand up, and take their places as citizens of the world.
I teach two sections of AP Microeconomics at a low-income, under-performing comprehensive high school in CT. Despite the many challenges they face, my students have persevered and grown into intelligent, hard-working, admirable, young adults. They not only challenge themselves by taking Advanced Placement classes, but dedicate themselves to expanding their understanding of the world. My school is incredibly diverse and we attempt to celebrate the many cultures represented within our 70% black and Latino population.
For most of my students, this trip will not only be their first time in Asia, but also their first time traveling abroad. They have a hunger for knowledge and inspire me daily as they tackle, what is for many, the "dismal science" that is economics. My students truly engage in their own learning and are ready to challenge themselves to explore a culture and economy that is vastly different than that of our own. Their excitement keeps me animated about teaching.
My Project
I am requesting funding for twenty students to travel abroad to China. The students have spent this year learning the principles that govern our economy, but have had little opportunity to explore how these same principles play out within another context. China currently has one of the most fascinating economies in the world as its growth is slowly transforming the culture. My students want to explore how one of the fastest growing economies in the world impacts the lifestyles of its people. How has culture impacted the economy, and how in return has the evolving economy impacted the culture? Donations to this project will allow my students to travel to Beijing and Hong Kong to not only explore significant cultural landmarks, but also to visit Chinese banks and factories to discuss how economics influences the decisions companies and the government make and consequently the people to whom they serve.
Donations of any size are much appreciated and incredibly meaningful. To help you see just what kind of impact your donation will have on my students, I've attempted to break down the contributions into something very tangible. See just how far your donation will go: $5 - Lunch for a Day, $10 - Admittance to a National Landmark (i.e. Forbidden City, Temple of Heaven), $25 - Travel to Great Wall of China, $50 - Acrobatic Show, $75 - Trip to Lantau Island, $200 - Food, $500 - Hotel Stays.
