My Project

My dedicated students, young adults striving to transform their lives through education, face significant challenges as teen parents while pursuing academic success and high school graduation. This podcast initiative endeavors to support them in their journey, employing multimedia projects and oral presentations to enhance their learning experience. Through this platform, students will not only share their stories with their peers and the broader school community but also draw inspiration from each other's remarkable journeys.

To fully engage in and contribute to the ongoing podcast endeavor, which stands at its midpoint, my students require essential recording equipment such as mixers, headphones, and mic connectors.

These tools will facilitate interviews with fellow students and staff members as well as the presentation of classroom projects, field trips, and lesson activities. By harnessing the power of the podcast, English Language Learners (ELL) will hone their speaking, reading, and listening skills, fostering not only immediate language growth but also a sense of pride, unity, and enduring academic success.
