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 Project
When we imagine public schools in inner cities, we often don't think about comfortable spaces where students can mitigate the stressors of city life. However, when teaching ELD students who historically have had to navigate the difficulty of literacy acquisition, educators must optimize their learning environment by offering a space where they can bypass the pressures of the social climate and ease into a comfortable, natural, and textured classroom.
ELD students are tasked with complying with five high stakes state tests per year, so offering them a pleasant environment makes space for carrying cognitive load.
Soft lighting, textured tables, chairs, and floors along with high quality visuals will support engagement and hopefully, pass rates for language acquisition assessments and state tests.
