My Students
My students are a tapestry of Brooklyn's finest and kindest. Our school aims to help its students discover their passions and develop their individual strengths. With our four-year homeroom advisory program called Crew, students grow to understand how important being part of a learning community is to academic success and personal development. And because of our small size, I get multiple chances to know nearly every student by name, and with time, by hairstyle, sound of their laughter, and more.
While our school has many amazing programs, a large majority of the students we serve still struggle to take full advantage of these opportunities because of financial burdens, unstable home conditions, and lengthy commute times to our building.
For these reasons, we try to ensure we can bring a multitude of fulfilling experiences to the building and reduce the costs of those outside ones where possible.
My Project
Spanish is the only world language taught in our small school. Fortunately, in NYC, there are many opportunities for students to experience Spanish in action versus other languages. So, when we're not able to bring students out into that world, I try to bring it to them in the classroom through photos, videos, brochures, flyers, and other media.
But, practicing even just world language basics in the classroom such as colors, national flags, physical appearance, and more becomes a challenge when limited to black and white printouts.
Additionally, I use color to help students distinguish important vocabulary and language structures as well as to highlight for students with high learning needs that require modifications like broken of strings of text or large font.
More than three‑quarters of students from low‑income households
