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 Project

Lighting in classrooms is very important for the health of students. Light intensity and color temperature are shown to have a significant impact on student progress. The loss of visual acuity impacts students' ability to read and this can be directly related to fluorescent glare. In classrooms where glare is minimized, classroom performance can improve by as much as 25%. This year I am in a modular classroom that has a lot of fluorescent lighting. Not only do we have a lot of fluorescent lighting, but our ceilings are low making the lights closer to our eyes and causing a lot of glare.

Fluorescent lighting has been shown to cause bodily stress, anxiety, hyperactivity, attention problems, and other distress leading to poor learning performance.

In this project, I have some floor lamps and some string lights to create softer lighting in our classroom. My student's education is important to me but so is their health. With this project, I hope to create better lighting to improve my student's learning.
