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.
Help college bound high school seniors succeed in their Advanced Placement Statistics course!
I have been teaching AP Statistics in NYC for two years now. Nearly 80% of the students enrolled at the school come from a current/former ELL (English Language Learning) background. In addition, 100% of the school receives free lunch, and an alarming 15% are in foster care.
Despite their hardship, I have been blessed with 35 extremely motivated college-bound seniors. Word of the success my students had last year spread, and I find myself teaching a course to twice the number of students I was originally given resources for. The school lacks funding, and cannot supply textbooks for all students in the class.
It is imperative in a college-level statistics course to align the text with the curriculum. Many of my students still face language barriers, and seeing something in print would facilitate their learning tenfold.
Your help will ensure that my students have a fair chance to earn college credit for this course (which could potentially save them $1000's in the long run). All of my students are planning on going to college, and for many, they will be the first generation to do so. An appropriate textbook would prepare my students for the rigors of a college course. Further, your support can be the motivational factor my students need; that someone is willing to act selflessly on their behalf.
