I teach in a very diverse area at a Title I school. In my school district, students are faced with several challenges both in and out of the classroom. Despite the many challenges they face, I try to provide creative and meaningful learning experiences and opportunities for my students. I try to plan engaging lessons that will help them succeed and decrease the academic gap. I believe my students should have the same opportunities available to them as those who live in more affluent areas of NY. My students need to have up-to-date and interesting resources available to them. Not all students are able to afford basic supplies and some are definitely not able to pay for extra resources to enhance learning. I would like to provide my students with multiple opportunities to succeed, including technology and magazines that enhance learning. By triggering a love for learning and a curiosity about the world around them and how they can improve it, I believe that together, we can help make a successful future generation.
My Project
My classroom currently has no working printers and it’s difficult and expensive to print my students’ amazing work. Many of my students are excited to be back in school and put in a lot of effort to complete assignments they are proud of, but we are unable to display their hard work because of a lack of a printer.
A laser color printer would help bring my students’ work and our classroom to life by allowing me to display their published pieces.
A sense of accomplishment and satisfaction for seeing their printed pieces decorating the walls and halls of the school will help students see the value and importance of their work!
More than half of students from low‑income households
