Celebrating 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.
I teach 2 groups of "at-promise" minority students who struggle in multiple areas, including academics, attendance, and behavior. This program is designed to provide students with academic and social-emotional support to be successful in high school and provide them with opportunities to develop their leadership skills.
My biggest competition and enemy in the classroom are cell phones and social media; students are simply too distracted to fully engage in their lessons and tasks.
The use of electronic devices during classroom instruction is a challenge that seems to have gotten worse after the pandemic. Students simply do not have the ability to multitask and cannot fully engage in a lesson if they are also using their phones. My idea to help alleviate this is to create a cell phone charging station in the classroom where students can put their phones to charge as soon as they enter class, and they take their fully charged phone with them when they leave for their next class. This is a win-win situation because they will have the opportunity to charge their phones, with the extension cords, which will be attached to the wall with the command strips, and chargers provided with this project, AND I will have their undivided attention! This will, in turn, result in higher retention and academic achievement.
The gift cards and snacks funded through this project will be used for the charging station and for incentives for progress in behavior, attendance, and academics. We do not have any earbuds in our classroom and my hope is to provide each student with their own labeled set so that they can work independently and at their own pace when applicable, and be able to take home if needed.
Thank you for supporting my vision and supporting my students.
