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
My students face various challenges in their communities daily. Most of my students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch and some of their parents have a difficult time finding the resources to provide them with basic school supplies. These kids grow up seeing so much violence in their community. They are pressured to join gangs, try drugs or get involved in other illegal activities that will negatively impact their lives in the long run. They still show up to school looking for safety, consistency, attention, and love. My kids have big dreams and trust us to help them get where they want to be.
At our school, the teachers do not only teach reading, writing, and math; we teach our kids how to be kind to each other, how to advocate for their own needs and how to work together even if you don't agree with someone else's ideas.
We show our students they can be successful no matter what challenges they may face. My school's number one goal is to help our students become kind and decent human beings and we support this in everything we do!
My Project
My students have received a class set of streams to pilot a flipped learning classroom structure. They are having difficulty watching the videos and navigating the streams because they are used to desktop computers. I'd like to be able to give them the option of using the trackpad on the stream or a regular mouse. Also, with 28 students per class, the sound from the videos gets overwhelming. I'd like a class set of headphones for students to listen to their videos individually.
In a world of fast-paced technology, students need their education to match what they will see in the real world.
In my math class, we are meeting these goals to keep our students competitive in the job market. However, to continue to do this, we need your help!!
