Help me give my students Scholastic Magazines to help improve student performance and meet some of our most important school goals, including equity, student engagement, and serving the whole child through social-emotional learning.
Our school is a 100% free lunch and Title I school. The campus is located in the middle of a working-class neighborhood. Most of the families are Hispanic and proud. North Vegas gets a bad reputation, but this corner is where we hope to inspire greatness.
The students are bright, vibrant, and willing to work.
My students come to school ready to learn, despite their troubles at home or in the community. These materials would go a long way to building strong foundations for learning.
My Project
I’d like to bring Scholastic Magazines into my classroom to help improve student performance and meet some of our most important school goals, including equity, student engagement, and serving the whole child through social-emotional learning.
Aligned to Next Generation Science Standards, these magazines are designed to support a well-rounded education and improve students’ reading, writing, listening, and speaking skills.
Every issue provides authentic stories that model rich, complex language and rigorous skills and activities to help students become strong writers and critical thinkers.
Magazines are proven to raise student engagement which research shows contributes to academic success. The magazines’ current, original stories make curricular topics exciting and relevant to students’ lives and their world. Embedded in the stories are SEL lessons that help build empathy, relationship skills, and more.
To support equity in the classroom, each issue includes robust differentiation tools that meet the needs of diverse learners. Features such as multiple reading levels, skills practice sheets, videos, audio, and lesson plans enable customized instruction.
