Celebrate Black Teachers and Students

This project is part of the Black History Month celebration because it supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of the students are Black.

My Students

I teach around ninety students, most of them of African American and/or Latino heritage. We serve and underrepresented and low-income population, with 100% of our students qualifying for free or reduced price lunch.

This year, I'm teaching all of the 6th grade ELA students - beautiful because, for some students, I'm helping them learn an entirely new language.

Challenging because many of those students need a lot of additional supports to both master English and the content information at the same time. Our kids are hard working, energetic, fun, and ambitious. They lack a lot of resources that many other kids are afforded, but it pushes them to do better and be better. Our kids struggle particularly with reading and writing, and my goal as a teacher is a to support them in their growth as readers and writers, so they can be fully literate and articulate in the future.

My Project

This requested Breakout EDU Kit & Platform Access set will allow my students to learn through advanced problem solving. Functioning like an escape room, Breakout Edu allows students to apply content knowledge and analysis to a variety of problem-solving opportunities - students will "breakout" using and applying everything they've learned in class.

Breakout EDU allows for the curriculum I teach to intersect with the curriculum in other classrooms.

Students will apply their diverse knowledge, draw connections between disciplines, and use reasoning and analytics to solve riddles, break codes, identify patterns, and "break out" of the box.

This Breakout EDU will allow us to think outside of the box, and will prepare my students to be vast problem solvers.
