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
We are a vibrant, funny, artistic, and creative community of learners. My students and I represent the Center For Learning. The Center for Learning is the special education department of our school. The beauty of this program is that it begins in 1st grade and ends in 12th grade. Due to the fact that many of our students are within our school building for a good portion of their educational journey, we get to truly know them academically, socially, and emotionally. This affords us the beauty to breed and foster an atmosphere of becoming family-oriented. As a result of this unique educational experience, we get to form and develop meaningful relationships.
CHALK IS OUTDATED, OUR WORK NEEDS TO BE MAGNIFIED!
The CFL department is comprised of many students with a wide range of cognitive delays and disabilities. Our population ranges from students with mental retardation, vision issues, autism, speech, and language delays. Despite their delays, our primary focus is to educate all of our students. As a staff, our belief is that all of our students can learn no matter what their disability might be. We don't see labels or classifications, we see students with amazing potential.
My Project
As we enter the new school year teachers must adapt to our new normal and find creative ways of meeting the educational needs of our students. Every profession has the required tools that are necessary for the artisan to do their work correctly. Without those tools, the artisan's work cannot be done, displayed, or appreciated. One tool that every teacher should have is a document camera. Document cameras allow teachers to record lessons, display work in real-time on a wall, model their teaching, and their thinking for all the students to see. Modeling is key when working with special education students. The document camera allows for colors and images to be illuminated clearly free from distortion or blemish. This tool will also allow teachers to model work clearly on the wall or board for students who are at home having to view the lesson from their phone or tablet.
Being dynamic and efficient is what drives teachers in the classroom!
In order to maintain social distancing, stop the spread of germs, and limit each student's contact with materials, teaching will be challenging to say the least. In order to maintain the highest level of cleanliness, teachers are being limited to what we can copy and handout to our students. For these reasons, document cameras would definitely allow teachers in the CFL department to do what they love in meaningful ways that will meet the educational needs of their students. Doc cams will allow teachers to zoom in on work and display small items in detail so that the visually impaired can see the material and feel included in the lesson. Projecting live pictures is also another feature that will capture the attention of the students and keep them engaged in every lesson.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
