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.

I teach biology at the Boston Community Leadership Academy-- a small public (pilot) school in Boston. Students come from diverse urban backgrounds and are considered high-need.

BCLA has an insufficient city budget for supplying teachers with essential classroom classroom needs. I use an overhead every day in my classroom-- 5 hours each day. At this rate, overhead lamps stop working after a just a few weeks. Every year we need a fresh supply of overhead lamps! Without an overhead, students struggle to focus on the task at hand.

I often display worksheets, objectives, do-now activities, and other instructions on the overhead. This helps all students, even those sitting far from the board, follow along with lessons. It keeps them focused, and gives a point of reference for non-auditory learners. My students will benefit from use of the overhead every day, without a doubt.

Your donation will help a small supply shortage make a big difference for 100 high school students.
