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

Do you remember that feeling of finding a challenge that really interested you? Or, maybe, a book that sucked you in and you couldn't put down? My students are much the same way. I teach both gifted education and second language learners; my students are self-driven, with intense curiosity and questions galore.

They're often looking for the next challenge, to push them that much further.

They live in Algiers, on the west bank in New Orleans, a city that is so much more than just a tourist destination. As their pull-out teacher, I focus on incorporating a variety of learning styles and teaching methods to hook them in and keep them engaged. Student inquiry is the driving force of my work, with an emphasis on STEM education for both groups of students.

My Project

My students need two iPads during their pull-out extension and intervention blocks. I have a group of sweet, hard-working gifted and talented students, as well as second language learners, that would benefit from additional, consistent access to technology within the classroom.

We will use the iPads for coding, science simulations, and research, as well as creating portfolios on SeeSaw and completing projects for presentation.

Our program involves a heavy STEAM and goal-setting component; more technology in our classroom would allow us to document learning, work with robotics, and explore long-term goals. My learners hope to work with Ozobots, Lego Robotics challenges, and even to explore DNA and forensics.
