My Project

I am excited to share the news about initiating our E-Sports incentive opportunity for my middle school students.

As an English educator, I am convinced this opportunity will incentivize many of my underperforming students, especially those who are trying to learn teamwork and collaborate skills.

The E-sports playstation 5 will help build a confidence to work in teams and learn to positively encourage classmates while competing against each other. E-Sports presents a secure and all-encompassing space where students can participate in healthy competition while nurturing their positive communication skills and fostering teamwork skills.

Moreover, it develops a strong sense of community within our school, providing a supportive environment for all students.

Additionally, the program offers access to technology that they would otherwise not be able to afford, aiding students in developing essential skills that are increasingly vital in our rapidly evolving world. ESports program enables all students, irrespective of their athletic prowess or personal interests, to compete on an even playing field.
