Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

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

I am a National Board Certified Education Specialist serving students with extensive support needs at a diverse Title I high school. In our Community-Based Instruction (CBI) class, students contribute to the yearbook, participate in school events, volunteer in the community, and serve on the Associated Student Body (ASB). They thrive when they can use what they learn to make a meaningful contribution to their school.

With the Phonological Awareness Lesson Bundle and the OG+ Decodable Reader Comprehension Response Slides, students will tap and blend sounds, read decodable stories, and use illustrated choices paired with text to answer questions about what they read.

Some questions use simpler wording so students can focus on understanding the story. Students who communicate with limited speech or have difficulty writing can show what they understand by selecting a response using their preferred communication method. This will provide an opportunity for student-centered learning, an instructional approach that will shift the focus of the classroom from the teacher to the student.

Students will apply those same comprehension skills as yearbook contributors. After a school event, they will sort photos in the order the events happened, choose a photo that captures an important moment, and work with a peer to create a caption. Students can contribute by choosing a photo, selecting words or pictures that describe what happened, or using their communication devices to share a detail. The yearbook gives students a real audience and a reason to practice identifying key details, putting events in order, and communicating what happened.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
