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 Students
My students come from low-income single-parent household. Some of my students are identified as students with disabilities. They require accommodations to be successful within the general education curriculum. Although they are faced with many challenges I observe their resilience and eagerness to learn daily.
My Project
The item I selected will help my students by allowing us easy access to technology. Technology is imperative for both students and a teacher. I support general education teachers in their classroom, therefore; I do not have access to a computer once I enter a teacher's classroom. With this computer I will be able to have accessibility to resources, student tracking information, online learning platforms, and open communications with all stakeholders. In addition, due to the pandemic this laptop assists with dual mobility of distance learning. The goal is to be able to provide technological instructional strategies and support to both the general education teacher and the students. The computer will be used for data chats with students based on the district wide platform of iReady. I will be able to give them scores as soon as they complete a growth monitoring or diagnostic assessment. In addition, the computer will provide easy access to virtual learning for students at home.
The computer would also be used for zooming with students and parents.
To provide services to my students I must meet with parents regularly and more than 75% of my parents still prefer to do virtual meetings through zoom. This computer will assist with these meetings.
More than three‑quarters of students from low‑income households
