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
In many urban communities, students are not supplied with the same tools and materials found in more affluent areas. My students are growing to be lifelong learners, and they are in need of resources to help them develop and strengthen their understanding of current events.
Our middle schoolers are bright, loving, and most importantly -unstoppable in their quest to be successful.
Their families support the students, the teacher, and the school. The parents are confident in my abilities as a teacher and with these new relationships and community connections. I enter my room more prepared and driven to provide my students with the supplies which they need.
My Project
As our school continues to strive to create civically engaged classrooms, we are asking for your help and support. Our goal is to equip students with the skills to read, write, and speak for change in our global community. One step is to encourage students to explore the complexities of their identities and beliefs.
To begin, we start small and bold, intimate and personal, through personal argument student essays.
Our middle school students need relevant mentor texts to explore writering moves and voice. The texts we have requested in this project will offer a wide variety of voices speaking on relevant and current challenges and circumstances.
More than half of students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
