I work at what is considered a "high poverty" school. We teach many students who do not know where their next meal will be coming from. They are unable to concentrate the way that is needed throughout the day.
My students tend to struggle in school because they have real-life problems that are blocking their ability to learn.
On top of this, our students have been faced with so many new challenges due to the COVID outbreak. Many students have taken advantage of our school because our online learning opportunity allows them to keep themselves and their family safe.
Because our students are learning at home, we have to work extra hard to make sure they have all the learning materials they need. It is my goal to provide students with a high quality education online, just as they would have had in person.
My Project
All of our students are learning from home in a digital format this year. Many students are home with multiple siblings where they are all trying to work in the same space.
Headphones and lap desks will provide the support needed for my students to be successful, even when their space is limited and families are tight on cash.
Students shouldn't be limited on finding success in their education because of their circumstances at home.
The portable charger and outlet hub will allow me to continue teaching at all times. These materials will provide me with the ability to access digital teaching at all times.
