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

Our school serves children from grades K - 6. We pride ourselves on creating a safe, loving environment in which our students can thrive. Eighty-nine percent of the student population are low income and receive free lunch. Our school is located on the south side of Chicago.

Our students are energetic, eager to learn and inquisitive.

They love to incorporate technology into their learning no matter the subject. They are truly a unique group and I am so grateful to be able to engage a group of scholars that are enthusiastic about learning.

My Project

Access to iPads in our classroom will allow our scholars to become responsible and informed digital citizens. They will have the opportunity to take their learning outside the south side of Chicago by researching global issues and current events. Our scholars will demonstrate their knowledge through project-based learning in all subject areas. Scholars would use iPads to demonstrate their learning beyond paper and pencil through video creation, presentations, songs, and creative writing pieces, just to name a few. Digital portfolios will also allow scholars to showcase their work and learning throughout the year. Digital portfolios will also help reduce the gap between school and home, engaging parents with their scholars learning in the classroom on a daily basis.
