Celebrate Black Teachers and Students

This project is part of the Black History Month celebration because it supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of the students are Black.

My Students

My students are an amazing group of 7th graders who mostly live in East New York and Canarsie. Our school services highly performing students, trying to provide challenging work to prepare them for New York City's strongest and most competitive schools.

My Project

My school has long wanted to freshen up its curriculum in order to provide more engaging texts to help keep our students invested. I want to use the 57 Bus for our unit on identity.

The 57 Bus will help my students explore the question of how culture, time, and place impact the development of a person's identity.

By telling the narrative of a non-binary teenager and the Black teenager who attacked them, students are able to delve into one moment of violence to see the humanity on both sides. This non-fiction text explores gender identity and the school to prison pipeline, topics that have engaged my students in the past.
