My Students
My students represent the possibility of what the world could be. They have unique experiences of the world, yet create an atmosphere where all are valued and respected. I teach first graders in a public school. They are curious and excited about learning.
My Project
My goal is to create a classroom where we celebrate differences. Students need to explore the presence of diversity in their own lives. I will use books, pictures, and materials to help students develop a deep understanding of diversity.
Students will be exposed to different thoughts and perspectives.
I want to increase their understanding of the world. By bringing awareness to issues others face because of their race, ethnicity, or gender, they will develop an appreciation for the struggles and contributions of others. This will further foster their mindset of acceptance.
More than a third of students from low‑income households
