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.
As a teacher in an 'at-risk school', my students are faced with challenges that no 8th grader should ever have to experience. I teach at a Title I middle school which is part of the District Reference Group H, the second lowest socioeconomic level a school can be placed in. 70% of our students receive, free or reduced lunch and many come from difficult home situations (broken homes, homeless, parent/s in jail, drug abuse etc.). Due to the challenges they deal with everyday, many of my students often lack the motivation to attend or participate in class.
My goal in the classroom is to make sure they having so much fun that they don't realize they are learning.
That's what Rick Riordan said and I've been striving to live by that motto! Despite having many disadvantages outside of the classroom, I find that my students are bright and capable and can achieve so much more if given the opportunity to learn in differing ways. I believe that one of the easiest ways to engage students is through the use of technology!
My Project
Our school lacks the availability of technology. Laptops are shared among teachers, and get quickly damaged since they are constantly moving throughout the school. Building up a class set of Chromebooks will alleviate the shortage of technology in a big way as my students will have access to the Google suite of programs. This will play a crucial role in increasing the achievement of my students.
"If learning is an act of exploration, then technology equips the explorer for the journey of a lifetime." Anonymous
Attendance and discipline are big issues in our district, and I know that the Chromebooks will help keep our students attentive and interested in their learning encouraging stronger attendance and better discipline.
