Celebrating 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 Students
Our school, which opened in 2004, is a Title I urban public school that offers grades 6-12 in a low-income area of the Bronx. Our mission this year is to work together in a blended environment, as we focus on solving disproportionality and developing independent learners using a culturally responsive, brain-based approach to learning. Our population of students include students that are English Language Learners as well as Students with Disabilities. We have a strong sense of community where teachers know all of the children and families.
My students are a group of amazing and enthusiastic learners who are often challenged in completing assignments due to lack of resources.
I co-teach tenth grade Living Environment and Global History to curious and engaged young adults who are determined to leave an indelible impact in their communities!
My Project
Since I have ELLs and students with IEPs, the use of headphones is a necessity in all daily activities in my classroom, especially in science and global history. Using the headphones for independent practice allow me to see exactly who is engaged in reading and listening assignments. What becomes a problem is the fact that when they are listening to a video without a headphone, it is distracting for others who have focusing issues and they miss important details. By having the headphones, students will be able to avoid all of these problems and focus on increasing their listening skills and learn!
By donating to our project, you will not only help to improve and increase student attention and focusing skills, you will ultimately help to increase their academic learning and listening skills.
Students will be able to simply focus on their academic material at hand, block out other noises and distractions. Plus in this technology literate world, any interaction with updated technology will increase their literacy as well as their desire to learn.
Nearly all 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
