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 Project

Cooperative games offer players a chance to work together as one team, collectively aiming to achieve a unified goal. Some educators find cooperative games to be not only more fun for students, but also more encouraging of positive participatory engagement that can lead to more confident students, and more productive teamwork.

Through my personal experience, the positive influence of sports and structured play rarely reach many low-income schools.

These are schools that are barely getting by, let alone flourish. Cooperative learning and structured play are two things that have gone unappreciated in the modern educational setting. This is an important issue for many local low-income schools as the dropout rate is so high. With this project I hope to achieve a wide array of positive outcomes that

look to brighten the futures of my students. I also hope to show that cooperative play has an incredible number of scholarly benefits: increased school involvement, higher GPA, improved, increased ability to work as a team, etc.

My school has an incredible community with fabulous students who work hard and deserve to have the same opportunities as their peers in more affluent settings.
