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

We are a vibrant, funny, artistic, and creative community of learners. My students and I represent the Center For Learning. The Center for Learning is the special education department of our school. The beauty of this program is that it begins in 1st grade and ends in 12th grade. Due to the fact that many of our students are within our school building for a good portion of their educational journey, we get to truly know them academically, socially, and emotionally. This affords us the beauty to breed and foster an atmosphere of becoming family-oriented. As a result of this unique educational experience, we get to form and develop meaningful relationships.

CHALK IS OUTDATED, OUR WORK NEEDS TO BE MAGNIFIED!

The CFL department is comprised of many students with a wide range of cognitive delays and disabilities. Our population ranges from students with mental retardation, vision issues, autism, speech, and language delays. Despite their delays, our primary focus is to educate all of our students. As a staff, our belief is that all of our students can learn no matter what their disability might be. We don't see labels or classifications, we see students with amazing potential.

My Project

In order to prepare my middle school students to meet and exceed the needs of a future rooted in technology we have started to record podcasts. We are becoming news reporters, sports analysts and commentators. These podcasts are teaching my students how to conduct research from credible sources. They are also working on and improving their ability to articulate themselves using grade level vocabulary via the recoding of each podcast. These microphones will help to enhance the audio quality of our podcasts so that the overall listening experience will be enhanced.
