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.

Celebrate Black Teachers and Students

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 Project

In my modern classroom, my students use laptops to work at their own pace to complete their Chemistry and Human Body Systems coursework. We do not use paper; everything is digital. In 2024, this learning model is designed to give student autonomy over their learning. There is one caveat—the students need devices! Our school provides devices to most students, but some students go without.

If students enrolled later in the year, they missed out on receiving a device.

The inconsistency of available devices makes my modern classroom experience difficult to fully implement. I strive for equity in instruction, but to be equitable means I need reliable devices for all students in my classroom at all times.
