Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month
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 students are excited and energetic typical 11-year-olds, except they are not. My students come from very diverse and economically disadvantaged backgrounds. Many of my students are bilingual; they speak English as a second language.
In our class, we utilize collaboration and peer learning/teaching as tools to build the skills of all of the students.
We are a part of a math department that is proud to implement and focus on collaborative classroom structures to increase engagement and learning. The work we do extends beyond developing math skills into building real-world skills such as teamwork, building relationships, and utilizing resources. In addition, there is a strong focus on building confidence and developing a growth mindset.
My Project
Teaching has changed so much over the last 8 months. I have spent more time in front of my computer than ever before. I need help to create a workspace that is ergonomic, healthy for my body, and also that allows me to teach in this new hybrid with online students world.
A Stand up desk will help me stay engaged with my students who are attending class online and in person.
I will be able to avoid leaning into my desk and will be able to shift between looking at my computers and the students in class.
In order to manage two differentiated Zoom rooms, I have had to stack books to prop my personal Chromebook on. I spend each class leaning forward to see each screen. This lean takes me away from my in-class students a bit and creates all kinds of aches and pains in my back and neck.
More than three‑quarters of students from low‑income households
