Flipped Classroom: Eliminating Achievement Gaps

My students need 3 tablets to be able to watch mini lessons at home and before school. Some students do not have access to Internet at home.

Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate 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

Students come in with various backgrounds and family dynamics, all of whom have preconceived notions about their math abilities. I want my students to have a love for learning and know that they can achieve any goal that they set for themselves with hard work and determination.

My students are a mix of Caucasian, Hispanic, and African American children who come from families that live around the poverty level.

Some students live in hotels or in their vehicles. I teach at a Title I middle school where students come from all walks of life. Some of my students do not have access to technology at home so they cannot access educational resources that would help them be successful.

My Project

If my students are able to use these tablets in the classroom, they will watch instructional videos made by me. Once they watch instructional videos online, they will come to class the next day ready to discuss and ask/answer questions. Students will also be given the opportunity to make their own videos to teach each other concepts we are learning. My goal is to have a completely "flipped classroom" where the lecture part of class is done at home leaving more time in class for me to work one on one with students.

The donations will improve my classroom by allowing me time to work with struggling students in class because I will not be taking class time to lecture students on content.

They will be able to check out the tablets to take home and watch videos for instruction. My students who were previously failing in math would then be above the average because I will be able to close gaps in learning.
