My Project
I am fortunate to work in an inner-city public school where the student body is 100% at risk. Through this project "Representation of Culture Through Crafting," my students will be able to utilize literacy skills, math skills, and socialization skills while learning cultural and self-awareness using beads, cords, bead spinners (electric and manual), glue, jewelry accessories, and instructional books.
Cultural representation and self-awareness are paramount in the lives of young people.
My students are ready to explore their culture and the culture of others through beading and jewelry making.
Nearly all 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
