Celebrating 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 students attend a neighborhood school in the city of Chicago. Our school and the surrounding neighborhood are one of the most diverse in the country and we serve a variety of students in low income situations.
I have been at this school for 15 years and from my time I began student teaching I fell in love with the energy, determination, and community involvement of the students from the neighborhood.
We now accept students from all over the city for our CTE (Career and Technical Education) programs that prepare students for Computer Coding, Childcare, Medical Technician, and Culinary Careers.
My Project
I have been using Google Classroom in my room in an attempt to go completely paperless.
If I could get 5 Chromebooks, then I could guarantee daily access for my students to work as groups.
Students would use the books for presentations and daily work. At present our school only has one chrome cart for use in the social studies department. I have to share the cart with 6 other teachers. Daily access would help the students develop the executive function skills (checking, email, using the scheduler and calendar for tracking deadlines.)
I have also been using Google Classroom to help with peer editing.
More than three‑quarters of students from low‑income households
