Celebrate Black Teachers and Students

This project is part of the Black History Month celebration because it supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of the students are Black.

My Students

As a teacher in a large school district, my students are faced with several challenges both in and out of the classroom. Since our school is not the home school for many students, many commute upwards of an hour each way. This has allowed our school to be comprised of a wide array of backgrounds. While this is one of the many items that makes our school so unique, the challenge still remains. The question is, how do we provide the resources and educational opportunities to allow every student to succeed?

My Project

As a way to help my students understand the significance of our history, I am offering an overnight field trip to Philadelphia after their AP exams are over in May.

While in Philadelphia, students will tour historical sites and museums in order to get hands-on experience on topics that were covered over the course of the school year in both AP US History and AP US Government and Politics.

During this particular part of the trip, students will participate in a day-long session at the National Constitution Center where they will participate in viewing Freedom Rising, a theatrical production, an Interactive Constitution Workshop, exploring The Story of We the People Exhibit and participating in a Town Hall and Peer Exchange.
