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 Project

Let's be honest -- math can be hard, so creating a successful support system in the math classroom is absolutely essential. Over the course of my 16-year teaching career, I've always used a binder organizational system where students keep their scaffolded notes pages, foldables, activity sheets, etc., and adding some color to notes pages is often a way to get new material to stick faster. For a 9th grader, effective notes and graphic organizers are key to developing efficient study skills that will set them up for current and future success.

The students are absolutely wonderful kids who care about learning, and they're also dealing with the complex effects of significant poverty.

I see in them great potential to be highly successful in math, and future leaders of our world. Unfortunately, some of the little things that make learning more accessible are out of reach for them. I would love to be able to provide each of my students with a 3-prong folder to make their own (with clear pockets on the front) and provide them ways to turn boring black and white notes into colorful works of art with highlighters and scented markers. Adding color to notes not only encourages creativity, but is an effective way to help new material stick. My goal is for my students to not just learn algebra, but also efficient note-taking and study strategies will support them for life.

Thank you in advance for your consideration. I look forward to partnering with you to provide all students an educational experience that is genuinely excellent.
