Help me give my students the opportunity to experience an engaging online adventure.
FULLY FUNDED! Mr. Tsepetis's classroom raised $331
This project is fully funded
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
My school population as per the NYC Department of Education statistics is comprised as follows: 27% Black, 67% Hispanic/Latino, 1% Asian, & 2% White. 28% are students with disabilities (vs. 17% city-wide) , 3% self-contained (vs. 2% city-wide), 13% English Language Learners (vs.11% city-wide), and 88% Economic Need Index (vs. 71% city-wide). Those are the official, rigorous statistics. Through my eyes they are engaged, willing to learn, respectful, future citizens. The obstacles they face in and out of the classroom are always a challenge.
My Project
Since the inception of mandatory distance learning due to COVID-19, the challenge to keep students engaged from afar has turned out to be daunting. As a teacher I find myself spending the majority of time following up with students via text, cell, and email. Online ZOOM meetings are always scheduled with less than 50% attendance. Conventional techniques to manage student behavior and assess learning have been turned. Engaging Online kits like this will be wildly successful in my opinion and I look forward to implementing this program once funding is secured.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
