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 Students

Albert Einstein quotes, "The mind that opens to a new idea never returns to its original size." Therefore, my goal is to provide my diverse learners with meaningful projects and instructional resources to address the disabilities that impede their learning such as attention-deficit, dyslexia, social-emotional, and autism. Their past experiences of failure in school have outweighed their successes as they also deal with socioeconomic ills within their communities, making the burden to learn more difficult.

Nevertheless, in spite of their circumstances, my students are inquisitive, creative, hopeful and eager to come to school- their safe haven; therefore, they know that their teacher holds their minds dear to her heart and will continue to discover innovative ways to challenge them to think and learn!

Aligning each student to the appropriate instructional resources, my students can grasp concepts through a combination of visual stimuli and usage of hands-on materials as well as respond to intervention through interactive, arts-infused, project-based, hands-on learning activities. With time and investment in exploring how they learn, my students will leave my classroom with a newfound growth mindset!

My Project

I teach diverse leaners from varied grade levels. My students struggle with phonics, reading, math and social-emotional needs. There are many resources available through digital content; however, the capacity of my current computer downloads at a slow rate, has a lagging connection and my students often to have wait several minutes for virtual resources to stream live during instruction

The majority of the time, I move on to another activity as the resources becomes available online.

My goal is to provide my students with high quality instruction, especially given that some of my students have deficits in attention and behavioral competence.

This laptop was chosen for its screen size to view multiple students and for its memory speed, which will allow for faster digital content to teach as well as creating video content for virtual learning. Thank you in advance for your generosity.
