Our school sits in the middle of a small community that once was an industrial town but has fallen on extremely hard times. Our school is made up of students from diverse backgrounds with varied experiences. In high school, most of the students receive free or reduced price lunches. The students and their families face much more than financial stress, which impacts how the students perform at school. The students are loving, hard working, and always appreciate the simple things in life. The teachers in my building strive to provide comfortable, loving, educational work areas for every student. We say that our classroom doors aren't just doors that open up into a room, but doors that open to a home full of learning.
My Project
During this uncertain time it is important for me to be able to check on my students to make sure they are successfully learning at home/and or at school. As a Success Coach for the students in the high school, having the ability to connect with my students daily to make sure they are understanding their assignments and having a device to complete their assignments would help make learning possible. Many of my students do not have devices at home and I would like to provide my students the opportunity to have the ability to keep in contact with me during the year, and if successfully doing so they will be able to take that Galaxy Tab off to college with them for future learning.
