Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month
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 are exceptionally friendly and always ready to help their peers, teachers, and community. I am never lacking for volunteers for any task in my classroom (sometimes I even have too many!). And, as freshmen, they were reading buddies with 2nd graders. Though they are very caring, many of my students struggle with poverty. All students at my school get free lunch.
Despite their struggles, my students are driven to do their best in school.
They have made the choice and commitment to take control of their future by enrolling in the AVID Elective. This course gives them the skills and college/career exposure they may be lacking at home. They set goals, explore career and college options, learn time management skills, and improve literacy skills.
My Project
AVID Elective students have committed to doing their best and taking control of their own learning. One way students work to understand and learn more is by participating in collaborative tutorials. Students identify something they are stuck on from a class and bring that problem to a small group for help from peers.
Dry erase boards are what allow students to show their peers what they have tried so far and where they are stuck.
Currently I only have one dedicated dry erase board for tutorials in my classroom. We need to have a dry erase board for each group so that the groups can effectively help the student presenting reach a deeper understanding of the topic. Portable boards will also allow us to move our tutorials into a room with a better configuration for tutorials.
