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 classroom is full of flourishing readers and writers who differ across backgrounds, identities, cultures, abilities, and language. My goal as an educator is to foster an empathetic, critically conscious generation of student citizens who value diversity, respect, and human dignity. I can only do this for my kids if I am able to produce a safe and rigorous learning environment that both acknowledges and accepts the diverse needs of my 7th grade learners. They have unparalleled resilience and emotional intelligence; I know that once they learn to bridge these skills with academics, they will be unstoppable forces in our community.
My Project
Students learn differently. I'm hoping to provide students with a set of headphones so that they can listen to audio versions of text as they read in order to increase comprehension and fluency.
Not all students can afford a set of headphones.
In order to differentiate learning, I provide independent reading time with student choice. Not all students can read at the same level, so this time is crucial in fostering reading. I have classes with high numbers of English Learners and Special Education students; audio is an indispensable tool to close the gaps of learning and reading.
These materials will allow students to watch as I model reading while annotating. The individual packs of headphones will be kept in the classroom and used for more than 160 students. The board markers are for writing expectations during silent reading time.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
