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
Working in a community where resources are minimal and motivation is often missing can be difficult for even the brightest student. When the added pressure of high-stakes testing is factored into the equation, so many students are often tempted to just give up and let luck determine their destiny.
It is my mission to continue to remind our students that hard work always results in some type of reward.
I am always able to hype them up and pat them on the back with ease when they focus and accomplish their goals. However, I would like to take their recognition a step further and provide them the opportunity to win both in and out of the classroom.
I would love to give every student who scores proficiency on our final state assessment the opportunity to enter a raffle for a chance to win a brand-new laptop.
