The students I have the pleasure to teach are some of the most passionate, sweetest, exuberant kids you will ever meet! Many of them are also students who have faced many hardships in life and will continue to face many hardships. Our school is a Title I school serving low-income students from all over the city of Nashville, TN. Many students come to our school without ever having been in a Pre-K program of any type. Therefore, some of them are often lacking in skills that perhaps their same-aged, higher income peers have already mastered. Our school is determined to make sure that by the time our students leave our school in 8th grade, they are caught up and on the path to college success. College and life success depends on creating students who are life-long learners and lovers of gaining knowledge!
I truly hope that in my school all of my students feel the excitement that comes from gaining knowledge and discovering something new every day!
My Project
Kindle Fire tablets allow personalization of student work. Everyday in our school we participate in math and ELA centers; I have one group of scholars at my teacher table and the rest of the class are completing independent centers. Independent centers are great, except every scholar is different and every scholar needs something different in order to succeed.
Fire tablets will allow me to personalize student work and give every scholar what they need to succeed.
If this project is funded it will not only allow me to personalize scholars' independent centers but it will also give technology access to scholars who do not get this opportunity at home.
More than a third 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
