My Students
We are an urban school with a large shelter (homeless and/or domestic violence) population. We have a very high mobility rate and rarely have a student who has gone to our building for grades kindergarten through sixth. This means we have students with a massive range of skills and experiences.
As a staff, we know that our students can succeed if given the opportunity.
We provide a wide range of services including food, clothing, and school supplies, pantry, health care services, and tutoring, both during and after school.
My Project
Technology can reach students in ways that are unimaginable. I want to make the most of any remediation or extension activities my students do during center time. These iPads might just be that thing that helps them in a way I may not be able to. Because I do try to meet individually with all my students during the week, the rest of the class needs something to help keep them engaged. This is the thing that will help do that.
"As the digital world students inhabit outside of school expand, so too should the digital resources and environments within school expand." Frank Serafini.
We have many different reading apps that we utilize, that we need the technology to help us have access. One of these apps is Mindplay. Mindplay is an online reading program that is individualized for each student based on data collected from mini tests students take on the program. Students typically make 2 years of growth in a year when using this program daily in conjunction with what I am providing. Please help us get more technology in the hands of our students!
More than three‑quarters of students from low‑income households
