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 Students

As an educator working in this field I have had many opportunities working with students and families. I find it rewarding giving back to the Englewood community. This school year I have the pleasure of working with the 6-8th grade class. I want to encourage all of the students to be successful and continue their education at the postsecondary level. In addition, I want the students to learn the importance of giving back to their community. I want to provide students with skills that prepares the students to be real-world leaders and innovators.

My Project

My students access to technology which will promote quality education. This is becoming challenging due to multiple individuals in a house and my students cannot focus on their assignments. The Virtual reality headset can be used to enhance student learning and engagement. VR education can transform the way educational content is delivered; it works on the premise of creating a virtual world — real or imagined — and allows students to not only see it but also interact with it.The students are not focused and this will assist them. Implementation of remote learning with my students will be considerable and impactful. As a special education teacher working in a low-income/high poverty school district, my students and their families face many challenges. Working through the school's limited resources to meet their specific needs. This year due to the pandemic, students have to receive their instruction by remotely learning.
