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 teach at a Title I school on the Upper Westside of Manhattan. My students come from economically marginalized communities and many have weak educational backgrounds. All of my students come to school eager to learn something new every day even if the teenager in them cannot demonstrate the emotion. My students have many personal challenges that make school and the requirements of school particularly daunting. That said, all of my students are held to the highest of expectations, both intellectual and professional.
My students are inquisitive and curious about other cultures.
Many of my students live very insular lives even though they live in NYC. While my students are exposed to other peoples and cultures, that contact is superficial. In my Social Studies classroom, units are anchored in geography, driven by primary sources and analyzed through complex secondary sources. Social Studies is the perfect vehicle to teach history, inculcate professionalism and cultural capital to societies most marginalized students.
My Project
I teach AP World History. The curriculum is sweeping and can seem daunting (it is a tremendous amount of material really). Study guides are crucial for helping students focus on important material, key words and concepts. Like many Title I students, my students' parents do not have the financial resources to support their children academically outside of the classroom. I am asking for 23 copies of Barron's AP World History study quide, Blank Flash Cards, a copy of Cracking the AP World History Exam 2017, a set of Barron's AP World History Flash Cards, and a copy of 5 Steps to a 5 AP World History 2017. The study guides all come with practice tests that will provide my students with additional testing opportunities. The flash cards and study materials will help in their test prep.
All students can attain a level of success in an AP World History class.
While some students will pass the test and receive college credit for their efforts, all students are learning crucial study and organizational skills that will serve them in college and professionally. Students that work hard to complete the Harvard outlines and complete all assignments in our syllabus should be given the support they need to be successful on the actual exam.
My students are fast becoming history-detectives and are beginning to make the crucial intellectual connections that are necessary to understand the full width and breath of world history. This mini-grant will offer these exceptional students an opportunity to level out the playing field with their wealthier counterparts around the country on examination day.
More than three‑quarters of students from low‑income households
