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 Students
The students that make up the community of learners at our school are diverse, eager, and full of life. The school itself was in corrective action with the Arizona State Board of Education several years ago so they implemented a wealth of technology for the school. However, the organizational tools to house all of the technology has become a strain on teacher organization.
Teachers need help arranging technology supplies such as headphones so they can model organizational strategies for students.
Our students come to a safe and welcome learning environment and the structures we have in place here are the only true models of life expectations they may see. We provide real-world examples with technology integration to prepare them with the life skills and examples they will see in their futures.
My Project
Our students need examples of organizing supplies. Right now, teachers do not have consistent ways to organize their headphones for student use. The headphones are in bags, in desks, on shelves, and just a plain mess! This causes them to break or the wires to rip out. We have state mandated testing that requires all students to have headphones and they are too expensive to replace. We would each teacher on our campus to have this organizer to show an example for students, and to take care of our supplies! Teachers will hang these shoe organizers on their walls or doors so that each student has a place to organize their materials.
More than half of students from low‑income households
