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 student body consists of approximately 150 students from low socioeconomic backgrounds. The racial makeup of my students is 95% African-American. A majority of my students come from homes where parents do not have a college education.
It is the objective of the school to ensure that the students are on the path to being college and career ready by the time they leave middle school.
However, this is quite difficult because many of the students are reading two to three grade levels below the national average. In order to create greater opportunities for success, we strive to create challenging and engaging lessons that students find exciting.
My Project
Sometimes circumstances occur which require that you and your students must separate. In situations like this, acquiring an education is still important. I was recently giving a student assignments to be complete online. I asked if he had a device to complete his assignments. He stated that he didn't have a device, but that he could probably complete the work on his phone. I was so proud of his resilience. I would love to have small, inexpensive devices that would help students complete their work via eLearning.
Students who need devices will be allowed to check out the devices as needed and return them when they are no longer needed.
