Translating My Class

Help me give my students and their families knowledge and information to keep them informed!

FULLY FUNDED! Teacher Young's classroom raised $273

This project is fully funded

My Students

The students of my science classrooms are a cohort of diverse, intelligent, and hardworking students from around the New York City Metropolitan area. Our school is a selective, public, college preparatory school with a focus on science, math, technology, and engineering that provides a challenging academic experience that prepares students for careers in science, math, and engineering.

My classroom is not only a place of challenge and discovery but also a place where students come to de-stress and learn everyday​ life skills.

Inside and out of the classroom, they are inquisitive learners never afraid to ask how our world works. They are also from very diverse backgrounds and come to school with various experiences that further deepen our classroom learning.

My Project

With the impact of the COVID-19 shutdown, my classroom has faced its most challenging test. My students are unable to meet in person for direct instruction and will be having instruction in this manner till the end of the year (possibly longer). As a result, their families and guardians are serving as at home teacher aids to help make sure students are getting the instruction they need and are entitled to. While we are so lucky to have such a diverse student body, many of my students families' are non-native English speakers which challenge the support my students are able to receive at home.

With this translation device, I can help deliver instruction in various modalities so that their families can be better equipped to help them succeed in this difficult time.

As one of the grade team leaders, I am also responsible for helping inform families of grade wide changes and policies. This device will also help me make sure they are getting the most up to date information about our school and strategies to help our students succeed in this new type of classroom.
