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 a part of an economy that does not allow them to showcase their hidden talents and abilities. I have students who are eager to work but with no opportunities to do so. My students possess so many talents and we just need the resources in order to allow them to display some of them. My students come from a high poverty area, and by allowing them to develop better soft skills, they will be more successful in the future.
My Project
Gamers United is one of the enrichment activities that I would like to be able to offer to my scholars to help them improved their social skills. Gamers United will be meeting weekly to talk about ways to improve our success at possibly gaming as a sport activity.
Social and Emotional Learning is going to be key in making sure all scholars are prepared for life after high school.
In order to acheive this goal, I will use a tool that my scholars would love to play. Students will play in teams and teams will be randomly selected. Students will get the opportunity to engage with classmates that don't normally associate with in order to participate.
