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

My school serves almost 400 New York City public school students. Ninety-four percent of the population are minority students. Ninety percent qualify for free or reduced-rate lunch. About 30% are students with disabilities and English Language Learners.

We are a school that specializes in academics, and business.

We promote college and career readiness through literacy programs with year-round experiences that include many work-based and service-learning opportunities for all our hard-working students including those economically disadvantaged and students with special needs.

In class, students are trained to run and operate their own business in the classroom. There is a management team and student employees are broken up into various departments such as sales and marketing, finance, graphic and design, human recourse, etc. As employees in department teams, the students work all year long running their business and competing in a simulated global market. Competitions and workshops are held throughout the year. In order to gain competitive advantages they need to experience in real world practice. We need to turn the classroom into a fully operable office with 21st practices however in effort to improve literacy would like to incorporate a class/office library for our student employees.

My Project

These resources and book selections will help create an inviting place that will act as classroom sharing library to encourage literacy at school and in the home.

The book selection chosen will be used to encourage our teen students to create a reading partnership at home.

Students will be able borrow the books and take them home to read to their young siblings which will increase literacy and strengthen the foundation for learning across subjects as well as their family bonds. With strong literacy skills, students will have equitable access to higher education institutions to furthering their education and career options.
