Celebrate Black Teachers and Students

This project is part of the Black History Month celebration because it supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of the students are Black.

My Students

I work in a high poverty Title I school.

My school has the highest number of free and reduced-price lunches in our very large district.

My students may come from impoverished homes but they are like any other kids- VERY motivated by technology and can quickly navigate computer programs and apps new to them. The students I work with specifically have significant difficulties communicating their thoughts in an age appropriate manner because of difficulties with pronouncing their words or difficulties utilizing and understanding the complexities of the English language. Additionally, I have several students who have autism. Many studies have shown the benefits of using technology to teach children with autism to better communicate.

My Project

My students need Chromebooks in the Speech and Language Therapy room to motivate them and to provide them with the latest and most up to date communication programs and apps .

My students' communications skills are are my priority.

The Chromebooks will not only excite my students, it will open up a brand new way in which they can learn! My students as with any students are highly motivated by technology. There are always new and innovative speech and language apps that are being produced and the Chromebooks will give them a front row seat to these apps that are specific to their individual needs. Many of the apps will help my student to learn proper grammar, parts of speech, syntax, semantics, asking/answering specific types of questions as well as helping them pronounce specific sounds in isolation/syllables all the way up to conversational speech.
