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
I work with the most amazing kiddos. They are smart, hardworking and beautiful young people. They also happen to have learning differences and need more support to access the general education curriculum.
All of my students have an Individual Education Plan (IEP).
Each IEP is a plan that includes goals and accommodations to help a student meet individual outcomes or goals beyond their current skills.
Additionally, my students live in East Oakland, California, and face many obstacles including poverty, homelessness, learning English, drugs, and violence. Despite all of these factors working against them, they continue to preserve by attending classes, engaging with their peers, and working towards a better future for themselves and their families.
In the new age of distance learning, I am doing everything I can to make learning accessible to my students through a virtual platform. My days are filled with: making videos, building online classrooms, developing new online lessons, and facilitating Individual Education Plan (IEP) meetings with parents and families to ensure that their children are getting the appropriate supports while in school to be successful.
My Project
I wouldn't be able to effectively do my job without the help of my paraprofessionals. My aides push into general education classes to assist our students who have Individualized Education Plans (IEPs). They are asked to adapt on the fly depending on what activity is being done. To better track student progress on IEPs, it is essential that my paraprofessionals have the necessary technology to track student achievements. We will also be able to quickly adapt and scaffold lessons for students using this technology. Having up to date data for each student will help them to progress in their education and encourage them to take ownership of their learning.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
