My Students
Even in the time of this pandemic, my students have never felt more eager to participate, engage, and connect with their teachers and classmates. We are still a school of go-getters, technological pioneers, and creative thinkers!
Seeing my students' faces light up with smiles when they log onto their class video call or walk into the classroom is what keeps me inspired to make their learning experiences the very best they can be.
We are a Title I NYC DOE middle school, but more importantly, we are a close-knit community. Students, whether in-person or remote, love staying connected with one another. They thrive on being able to express how they're feeling and contribute their thoughts and ideas in meaningful ways using technology and digital platforms. I want to simply meet them where they're at right now.
My Project
Each year, our school launches a peer tutoring program where select students are nominated by their teachers based on their leadership skills and academic strengths. These students are then chosen to become peer tutors. Peer tutors provide enrichment and support for their fellow classmates who may be struggling in one or more subject areas. Every peer tutor is assigned a "learner" or classmate in their grade who would benefit from this support on a monthly basis.
The success of this peer tutoring program is not only based on the participants and the organization of the program, but on the resources available to help our peer tutors take ownership over assisting their learner grow.
That is why I would like to provide these peer tutors with supplementary enrichment texts for ELA and Math, in the event that they have extra time during the peer tutoring session to work with their learner in these content areas.
More than half of students from low‑income households
