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

Spanish, Afrikaans, Arabic, Fulani, Swahili, Chinese, English, Creole, and American Sign Language are just a few of the languages our students exposed to on a daily basis--both in the home and at school. My students, who are Deaf and Hard of Hearing, are in a self-contained total communication program located in the Bronx, NY. We simultaneously use various forms of communication in our room to fit the needs of each learner. My students are very hard working compassionate kids with a love of learning and experiencing new things first hand. They are all incredibly intelligent and intuitive, but lack of language exposure and oftentimes lack of resources contribute to their lack of understanding and access to grade-appropriate instruction. For this very reason, literacy instruction is key to their success and eventual language acquisition.

My Project

This professional Development will provide me with the tool kit/skills to create, turn-key, and implement equity-centered design thinking and how empathy can lead to more impactful, equitable and innovative solutions to real-world problems. Upon completing this Professional Development, I will have the tools for the theory and practice needed to set aside biases and assumptions when creating impactful solutions and cultivating a space of the creative process. Equity and Equitable education is the goal for our district and school and immersing myself in this PD will continue that work and goal. During the PD, I will learn how to help my students problem solve, be creative, embrace failure, take risks, and build confidence--all things needed for truly successful deaf education.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
