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

Our school is a very diverse population with about thirty percentof the student body is African American, Caucasian and Hispanic. All students are bused. All the student are eligible for free lunch. The referendum for an increase in taxes was denied by the voters. The school budget was reduced from 85k to 30k. We have been told that we should go onto this website for simple requests such as paper and other supplies. I been a science teacher for over twenty years in the Philadelphia School District. I came to Gauge-Cobb to teach STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering Art and Math) and finally, teach beyond the school district curriculum.

I am looking for funds to purchase materials for a technical drawing (drafting) class.

I made drafting boards for my students. I am in need of a class set (30) of paper, T-squares, pencils, compasses, protractors, drafting triangles (30,60, 90 ) and (45 and 90). If you can help, I thank you from the bottom of my heart. I love to teach but I simply cannot afford to purchase all the items my students need. Thank you for your support.

My Project

Sixth grade students learn the basics in drafting and CAD (Computer Aided Design).

Student learn the fundamental of the engineering design process and how to design and build a project.

My room is a former wood-shop room. The table are very damaged with hammer and nail holes. My students need a smooth surface to draft from.

Seventh grade students design and build projects and keep journals of their work. Examples are bridges, catapults, towers and buildings.

Eighth graders learn to design, build and program robots.

We are part of a program called Project Lead the Way. The program is a student based, learning program designed to prepare students for the twenty-first century work force. Your contribution will help us reach higher levels of learning and prepare our student for working in the real world.
