I teach at a Title 1 inner city school in Texas. 84% of our students are Hispanic, and 77% are eligible for free or reduced lunch. Most of my students are recent immigrants and many of them have never even considered college, primarily because they don't know anyone who has attended. I want to make graduating high school and attending a 4 year university a reality for my 140 students. The best way to make that goal a reality is to provide my students with the study skills that will enable them to succeed in their future academic pursuits. Without the benefit of these skills, to say nothing of a knowledge of history, my students will be at a disadvantage not only on standardized tests, but also upon applying to jobs and college.
