it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.
My Students
As a teacher in a low-income/high poverty school district in Chicago and former student, I understand that my students are faced with challenges both inside and outside of the classroom. Despite those many challenges, the mathematicians that I enlighten are motivated problem solvers, curious about the world around us and destined for success.
My students are amazing middle schoolers stuck somewhere between cool and fabulous.
Many of my students are bilingual, with English being their second language. They enjoy mathematics and they are quickly learning the importance of teaching others how to fish instead of simply giving fish to our peers.
Just like most teenagers, my students love technology and socialization, and I want to use their interests to create a more efficient learning environment that fosters collaborative learning, open communication, developing their skills with technology and access to class materials that promote an inclusive class environment.
My Project
Due to budget cuts in our school district I am now responsible for teaching my usual Mathematics courses and now Social Studies. This will be my first year teaching the content and I have no access to a concrete curriculum.
The textbooks and other materials within this project will allow students access to Geography, learning about the world on a global scale and enhancing writing skills to promote tolerance of different cultures, people and ways of life.
This project will allow me to immerse my students into various cultures and traditions, their history, their geographical locations in relation to ours to develop an understanding of others, which will promote the tolerance of diversity.
More than three‑quarters of students from low‑income households
