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
My students experience difficulties both academically and socially. Their problems relate to their home situations, financial stability, poor parental involvement and lack of motivation. This transfers negatively into their learning. As a teacher in a low-income/high-poverty school district, I would like my students to experience learning in an enjoyable environment. I want to provide activities where they would be engaged and thrilled and get the chance to change their negative feelings of learning into positive ones.
My students need to believe in themselves, that they can be creative thinkers and assets to the community.
Therefore, these activities/projects will give them the chance to do so.
My Project
These ipads will truly make a difference in my classroom. Since the power surge damaged some of the computers, the students were forced to share the remaining computers in the room. The ipads would be most beneficial, because in the event of another hurricane, they would not be majorly affected.
Since the trend today is to have students experienced in the world of technology, having the ipads will allow them to meet that challenge.
Also, this will help when students are asked to bring their own devices to school, because most of them don't have any. Finally, they will have the opportunity to spend more quality time completing assignments because their time would not be restricted from having to share.
More than half of students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
