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 Project
Interculturality is one of the goals of our school. That is why we receive students from different countries who belong to very different cultures every year. Most of the teenagers who take my class are students who have just arrived in the country from Central America (El Salvador, Honduras, Guatemala). Students who are beginning to get in touch with the standards of our school district, with English, and with a new society.
Many of them grew up exposed to interrupted education or had to deal with social circumstances that prevented them from developing their cognitive skills to succeed in their science classes.
In short, too many factors that hinder their learning and that require additional support to allow them to be successful in their education.
My students are full of good intentions and a desire to learn, but sometimes a video or a simple text is not enough to help them understand the mysteries of life or the matter surrounding us. With the help of atomic models, they could understand in a practical way the structure of an atom or a DNA molecule... How does energy transfer from one organism to another in ecosystems? It has been shown that success in education is much more likely when students are exposed to different forms of learning. The list of materials that are part of this project is, without hesitation, the perfect complement to the formative texts and videos that are usually included in my daily classes.
