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
As a teacher in a low-income school district, I see my students facing several challenges both in and out of the classroom. I am the 3rd-5th grade, Autism Program Teacher at an inner-city school in Mid-City Los Angeles. Many of my students come from low income backgrounds and often school items aren’t available to them because of financial hardships. Parents have to make the tough decision to pay a bill or put food on the table and forgoing school essentials that will help their children excel. My students are often many grade levels behind, nonverbal, but also full of many talents. Despite these many challenges, my students always come ready to learn.
My goal is for all my students to recognize and embrace their unlimited potential and realize their goals and dreams.
From the minute, they walk into the classroom, I focus on helping my students develop a growth mindset. We learn to embrace our differences and help spread Autism awareness. By doing these things, I hope to empower my students to continue a path of academic excellence.
My Project
Due to having multiple grade levels, my classroom is set up in rotations in order to target their needs. My students often require repetition of skills and interactive hands-on tools to retain academic knowledge. The Microsoft Surface Go laptop's will make a huge impact on my students’ learning. They will be able to have access to technology at every center. They will no longer have to wait for someone to get off a computer in order for them to take a test or type their essay's.
We are also an environmental school and therefore, learning how to create work in a paperless environment will teach students to be environmentally conscientious.
The use of technology will also allow my students to access programs like Lexia, System 44, and Zearn to improve their learning. Having technology in our classroom will help my students dive into digital learning and help prepare them for upcoming testing
