Help me give my students a culturally responsive learning environment to make learning more relevant and meaningful. Help them feel a sense of belonging and experience the affirmation of their identities.
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 English Learners (ELs) from many different countries such as: Liberia, Haiti, Ghana, Puerto Rico, Columbia, Dominican Republic, El Salvador, Ecuador, Costa Rica, Honduras, Guatemala, and Dominica; my English Learners span the globe with diverse experiences, require different organizational structures and instructional supports based on their English language proficiency levels to address their specific literacy, numeracy, academic development, and cultural needs.
Most of my students are Newcomers and SLIFE, students with limited and interrupted formal education.
For many of my students, this is their first time in school for many years. This is their first time in an American school, and they are excited and eager to learn.
My Project
The flags, baskets, and multicultural materials will incorporate the cultures of my students in their learning environment. Seeing the flag of your country in your classroom, lets a student know, we value and respect where you come from. When students see a basket, they connect to a place, they call home; they remember, and feel empowered by their uniqueness, seeing decorations in their classroom that are culturally relevant. We all belong!
The multicultural art materials will allow my students to create themselves as they are, and proudly represent the diversity of our classroom.
The photo cards will assist my students in acquiring and expanding their acquisition of the English language. Photo cards are an effective way for students to learn to develop vocabulary.
The pocket charts, caddies, magnetic strips, and paper trays, will allow students to organize and manage the many materials utilize to teach Newcomers and SLIFES.
