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 Project

Students should have access to translation devices because these tools promote equal opportunities for learning by breaking down language barriers. When students can understand lessons and express themselves clearly, they participate more confidently and effectively in class. Translation devices foster inclusion by supporting multilingual learners, helping them keep up with the curriculum and engage with peers. This not only improves academic outcomes, but also builds students’ self-esteem and motivation. Ultimately, providing translation devices creates a more welcoming and supportive learning environment where every student can thrive. Please help my students learn.
