Hands-On Learning Opportunities for Creative Engagement

Help me give my students the materials they need for hands-on and project-based learning opportunities

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. (Papanos) Shaw's classroom raised $935

Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate 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 Project

All of the students that will benefit from this project participate in a therapeutic, self-contained, special education program. Our students receive services due to social, emotional, and behavioral issues, and all are identified as high risk due to their ongoing history of disengagement from school based on truancy, academic barriers, and behavioral needs. The resources included in this project will provide us with the arts and craft materials we need to give our students more interactive, hands-on, and project-based learning options allowing for a multi-sensory expression of comprehension.

The majority of our students have not had many feelings of success and achievement in school and through the RISE Academy at HPHS, many at-risk students have been able to graduate and find post-secondary success.

By providing creative options for displaying their knowledge and understanding of the content students in the RISE Program have shown an increase in confidence as well as engagement in school allowing them to get back on track for graduation. Our students benefit greatly when we allow them to use their amazing and creative minds to approach their subjects in new and innovative ways.
