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 9th Grade ELA students in Trenton, NJ are amazing. Yes, every teacher says that about their students, but mine really are. I teach literature, and every year when I teach the "same old stories," I learn something new. I'm able to learn something new and exciting in a story I've taught for the past 10 years because my students bring their experiences--good, bad, ugly, joyous--into my room and use them to dig deep into the stories we're reading.
My 9th Grade ELA students in Trenton, NJ come from Black and Hispanic low-income families.
Many of my students are the first individual in their family to attend high school. Many of my students act as English-language interprets for their older family members, are surrogate parents for their younger family members, and work a part-time job to help support their family. All of my students dream of graduating high school and doing something great with their lives.
My Project
Ninth grades students are inherently shy. They do not like being the center of attention or drawing attention to themselves. Because of that, when asked to speak in class, they often whisper or talk to their toes.
Help me power my students' voices by giving them microphones to make their voices heard.
Microphones will help promote language articulation, develop public speaking skills, foster confidence, and provide an incentive for active participation. A class set of microphones will ensure that all students, no matter how shy or quiet, will be heard.
More than half of students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
