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

My scholars are rock stars! We are part of a Title I school and 77% of my students come from low socioeconomic families, but learning is one thing that keeps on going! My students give me drive and purpose. When they are at school, they are lighthearted, driven scholars, and they are there with a purpose to learn. They put aside their external concerns to just enjoy being at school and being surrounded by their supportive peers and educators. My students and I work as a supportive team to help each other grow academically, socially, and emotionally . This year will be a totally new challenge for our class as we start the year with remote learning. It will all be online and we hope to return back to the classroom soon.

This is an investment you won’t regret because my students become one step closer to being college-prepared and empowered lifelong learners.

So many workplace professionals are produced in schools. My students are striving daily to become global citizens who will make a positive difference in the world regardless of their background or socioeconomic status. Investing in their education is the best investment you can make for your future!

My Project

There are many factors that make learning at home successful. After teaching remotely for four months earlier this year, I’ve thought about the tools my students will need the most to help improve their learning. Their learning environment is a huge factor, yet one that is not in the students’ control, not mine. We just had to make do with what we had. Having headphones with attached microphones, students will be able to cancel distracting background noise during live instruction and thus help their peers to stay focused as well. When students participate during live instruction with the class, they will also be able to clearly share their ideas and answers with one another. The mic on the headphone will help with that as well as keeping unwanted noises from other family members to a minimum. When retuning back to the classroom environment, students will bring the headphones back to use in the classrooms as well when working on group research, work, presentation, and centers.
