Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

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 deaf and hard of hearing and are being exposed to English, Spanish, Fulani, Arabic, Bangla and American Sign Language on a daily basis. My students vary in abilities, degrees of hearing loss, and communication modes, but the one thing that is universal is that across the board their education and access to new information is dependent heavily on the use of visual aids, repetition, and individualization of materials and instruction for their needs.

My expectation is that with appropriate resources my students will realize and exceed my expectations as well as theirs.

My students work so hard and have so much potential. I hold them to high standards because I believe in their potential and their growth. Socially, economically and physically they may have disadvantages, and I strive to give them every educational advantage that I can. It is my goal to facilitate their learning through hands-on student-centered experiences while challenging preconditioned notions of society, their home communities and themselves.

My Project

Deaf and Hard of Hearing students learn through visual models like videos, pictures, and animation. Often, our students struggle with comprehension because they don't have the experience or a mental representation of a word or a concept. When this happens we might use a computer to look up picture representations, but this process is usually not individualized, due to lack of equipment. We hope that the addition of iPads will allow us to expose our students to more vocabulary and more concepts, which will help to assist their overall learning.

iPads will afford us the opportunity for individualized learning in grades k-5.

Students can work independently on IEP goals related to literacy, math, grammar, or speech and language. iPad apps are generally fun and vivid, which our students require for motivation and unique learning styles. Students able to work independently will also allow us to make smaller groups to target areas of need for more effective instruction.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
