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 Project
As an educator, I strive to create a dynamic and engaging learning environment that supports all students’ academic and personal growth. To do this effectively, I need various classroom items that enhance instruction, encourage flexible seating, and foster creativity. These materials—such as art supplies and flexible seating options—help me differentiate instruction, accommodate diverse learning styles, and keep students actively engaged. Without adequate resources, it’s challenging to provide the hands-on, inclusive, and stimulating experience that every student deserves.
What makes my students truly special is their resilience, curiosity, and unique perspectives.
They come from diverse backgrounds, each bringing their own stories, cultures, and strengths into the classroom. Despite challenges they may face inside or outside of school, they show up with a desire to learn, grow, and support one another. They are empathetic, creative, and eager to make a difference in the world around them. Their ability to persevere, collaborate, and dream big is what inspires me every day—and it’s what makes them extraordinary.
More than three‑quarters of students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
