My Students
The students in my class face several challenges both in and out of the classroom as our school is located in a high-poverty neighborhood. Despite any challenges they may face, my hope is that in our school, we provide high-quality and meaningful learning experiences.
The goal is for students to be excited to come to school every day and to be consistently and actively engaged.
Creating a classroom that is welcoming and comfortable for students is a major priority.
My Project
Our school has a small group of ESL students. They are students who with the proper materials and instruction can succeed in every aspect of life.
Many of these ESL students come into our school unable to speak any English.
These materials will help them so that they can engage in the classroom by both using their own language while learning English at the same time. I know that these materials will excite my ESL students. More than anything, I want them to learn comfortably and gain confidence during the process.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
