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.
My Students
I work in a 7th Grade Math ICT setting at a middle school. The students my co-teacher and I teach come from all walks of life, some even living in homeless shelters. Our students are also very academically diverse in which the curriculum needs to be modified to specifically reach our unique population. Some of our higher level students are able to easily retain information but for our struggling students, more intensive differentiation and scaffolding needs to be implemented. At this time, we are preparing our students for the Math State Test and have been encouraging them to think positively and never give up.
We see a number of our struggling students wanting to give up on problems before even trying.
We encourage mistakes in our classroom so that we can correct the steps so the students understand the correct procedure. This has shifted the mindset of some of our students and we have seen more of them willing to try instead of giving up.
My Project
The two Dell computers will help differentiation take place in my classroom to reach my unique learners. I teach a wide range of students that start from ELL students, students with learning disabilities, and high level students. With these computers, I will be able to differentiate lessons for my struggling students to provide videos as visual aids and models. BrainPop and other math games would be accessible for these learners as well to better retain information.
I can also use the computers to challenge my higher level population by allowing them to get extra practice when they finish their work.
Many of my higher level students finish rather quickly with extra time left over, so they could also go through lesson at their own pace with a computer.
