My Students
My students are hard working scholars who have opted to take my Advanced Placement Statistics course. These students in our Harlem college preparatory public high school plan to attend and graduate from college (most of them as the first generation in their family to do so) and pursue a career in medicine, engineering, business, psychology, criminology, social work, teaching, and more.
These students are willing to prioritize their education - they realize that education is their key to a better life.
Although in most cases, my students' family situations are currently challenging and they are living well below the poverty level, they have big plans for their own lives and refuse to let their zip code dictate the trajectory of their lives. They realize that a solid education is the key to financial independence and career success.
My Project
These laminated review pamphlets are an excellent tool for students to use to quiz themselves on concepts and formulas. Sometimes statistics can seem like its own language and intimidate new scholars; when I've distributed these review pamphlets to students in the past, these tools helped students get more comfortable with the course earlier in the year. This translated to better comprehension and better results. The laminated material keeps the study guide from getting destroyed in student book bags.
Students have reported that they keep the pamphlets in their bags all year and periodically take them out to quiz themselves on their subway ride to and from school; This makes commuting time productive.
More practice and review = better study skills = stronger students.
The fun socks will be distributed early in the year once we discuss how to describe a univariate data distribution -- Shape, Outliers, Center and Spread [SOCS]. The crazy colorful socks help students remember this acronym.
More than three‑quarters of students from low‑income households
