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 students are the kindest and most motivated kids I know. They come to class and have meaningful discussions about difficult topics; they consistently surprise me with their insight and depth of knowledge.
Our high school is part of an inner-city, low-income school district.
These kids are used to always getting furniture and books and supplies that are bottom of the barrel and classrooms that are more institutional than inviting; however, they show up every day willing to look beyond those hardships and make the most of each day.
Furthermore, all of my students have taken the extra step to success by signing up for advanced classes and degree programs that require much more of them than the average student. With the IB program, my students are striving to receive not only their high school diploma but also an International Diploma that could get them into any international program. One of my current students wants to become an interpreter for the UN, and she wants to start by going to college in France. She already speaks three languages!
These kids are amazing, and they deserve the absolute best that we can offer.
My Project
These materials will matter not only in terms of the success of students and how they study and learn, they will also serve as a tool for teachers of IB classes. These contain lesson plans, activity ideas, practice tests, and student samples--we cannot place enough emphasis on the importance of these subscriptions to our future success in IB
The IB DP is already one of the most rigorous educational programs in the world.
These subscriptions will help make sure our students have a better chance at earning the diploma, which will then open many doors for them.
More than three‑quarters of students from low‑income households
