Celebrating Black History Month

This project is part of the Black History Month celebration because it supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of the students are Black.

My Students

My school is a transfer high school in an urban city. My students are all experiencing high school for at least the second time in their educational experiences. The students here have all experienced previous educational settings that were not beneficial to them. They come to our school with various needs and we use an alternate approach to learning to help them re-engage with our school community and its values and norms.

My students prefer to be directly engaged in the learning process.

Hands-on learning is important in both traditional education and alternative education, with a heavy reliance on direct engagement to encourage richer learning and deeper retainment. There is a social justice issue in lack of access to high quality statistics and art courses, especially in urban schools. Having experience in observing, collecting, and analyzing data while expressing themselves creatively are all essential to closing the education gap between our students and those who have more privilege than they know. We are working towards creating a just society, and this is a part of getting there. As well as designing curriculums that will always meet their needs.

My Project

These visual learning journals will help my students learn about data from a personal standpoint. They will observe, collect, draw, and analyze data all semester long in their mathematics course titled, Data Analysis. I want to enable multiple modes of access with art, communication, data, and statistics.

We will collect data about ourselves, do statistical analysis, and then communicate our findings through infrographics.

Harness your skills of observation. Activities teach you how to document the world through colors, lines, shapes, design, and data. These journals will fuel their creativity. They will be allowed to notice small details about themselves and the world. This book will be a focal point of the class if funded.
