Teaching and Learning from Student Based Questions

Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate 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 Project

AVID students are working towards attending community colleges, vocational schools and then on to universities. AVID is designed for students to create Learning Communities while in middle school so that they are prepared for high school, vocational and trade schools, and college after graduation. As the AVID teacher, I want my students to be successful with their tutorials. Students are more attentive when learning from each other. Dry erase markers are needed for the daily tutorials. By providing these dry erase markers, you are helping create critical thinkers and problem solvers.
