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

Think of a classroom of 30 general education and diverse learner students in the city of Chicago who are all expected to successfully master the demanding Common Core State Standards without the resources needed to meet those demands. All the instruction for these students needs to be differentiated to meet each of their individual end of the year NWEA goals. I want my students to receive the education they deserve with the resources that they need at their instructional level.

Over 95% of the students at my school qualify for free lunch.

Many students in the school do not have Internet access at home. My class consists of 30% diverse learners. These students have exceptional needs, as well as goals that need to be met by the end of the year on the NWEA standardized test. The students love technology and see it as a great resource to help them achieve their goals. They are motivated to meet their goals, and excited to continue learning and expanding on their reading and math skills through the use of several different programs available to them online that are both fun and educational.

My Project

I am requesting 3 Chromebooks to support differentiated learning. These Chromebooks will help assist with differentiated instruction based on each student's individual level. Students will have access to assignments at their level that I can personally create for them and send to them through an online program. I will have the capability of assigning work and creating quizzes to see how well my students are mastering a standard. Also, the students will have access to a variety of online resources to help them expand their reading and math knowledge.

Your donation to this project will change the way my students learn.

By having this technology available to the students throughout the whole day, the students will always be receiving instruction at their level. Considering this is an inclusion classroom with diverse learners, it is important that the students feel confident in the work they are producing. By having work at their level, this can help boost their confidence in the work that they produce in the classroom.
