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
I am an art teacher in a low-income/high poverty school district where students are faced with several challenges both in and out of the classroom. Despite the many challenges they face, I want things to remain simple in my classroom and I want to provide my students with creative and meaningful learning experiences.
My high school students are very creative in the arts (art and music).
They love to get a chance to express themselves. We are in need of art materials so they can be successful and as creative as possible in class and after school art club. Students love to receive positive attention and praise from their mentors and peers . From the minute they walk in the door of my classroom my goal is to focus on their potential and growth while they are with me. I highlight their strengths and try to make every student feel important. I may not be able to control their home lives, but I can certainly control their experience during the school day. By doing this in a creative and positive way, I am hopeful to inspire our students to put their best self forward.
My Project
Students with special needs can use tablets to draw and sketch ideas for projects. Many of my students work better with technology. I can download apps specific to their needs.
Just like their peers they enjoy expressing themselves and the tablets will introduce a new fun way to create an assignment using only their finger tips!
I teach a very small class of students with special needs who would benefit from tablets being implemented in the art room, so every child can have access to one. I can also use these tablets as a rewarded break for certain students, who require breaks between tasks.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
