Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate 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

My students come to my class each day because they love music. Our group is very diverse, both in grade level, background, and skill level, and come together well in the music room. I get to show them how the music, films, and TV shows they enjoy on their own time are created and how they can make their own. When they leave my classes, students have gained hands on experience and 21st century skills that will undoubtedly help them when they go out professionally into the world.

Our students don't always get the support they need and desire at home so it is my job to provide that everyday.

My teaching is driven by providing our students with the same opportunities that other students the next town over are getting and breeding the confidence they need to believe in themselves. It is my hope that every student that takes a technology arts class at EHHS will learn something that interests them as well as something they can use in life outside of school.

My Project

Next year, EHHS will be adding a new course for students called DJing and Live Sound. In this class students will have the opportunity to learn about mixing, curating playlists, creating beats, and setting up and running live performances. This class is new to our school but common amongst HS in the state and across the country and it is because of this, I felt the need to add it to our program of studies.

Any technology classes success is based on students access to industry standard equipment.

This access is directly linked to funds available and resources present at the time. EHPS has made a substantial commitment to this class next year in securing funds for a brand new iMac lab at the school but other supplies are needed. The addition of these Pioneer DJing Controllers to our classroom supplies will give students the opportunity to work with Professional DJing skills on Professional DJing equipment that they would not have otherwise.
