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
Students at my school are working on developing literacy skills in Spanish and English. Students receive adaptive instruction and personalized practice through a tech program while the teacher instructs a small group of students on common needs. The program has AI support but the AI support works best when students have a headset with a microphone to capture the audio. We currently have a few headsets in each classroom.
We want to maximize the personalized support for our students!
Building bilingualism is a superpower that our students are working toward each and every single day.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
