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 Students
Our students come from one of the most economically distressed parts of our city. Everyday, they overcome challenges in their community, families, and their individual lives. These challenges include single parent (or even "zero" parent) homes, violence, poverty, and discrimination.
Despite the fact that they face many obstacles, they are determined to get the education that will lift them out of poverty and set them on the path to new horizons.
They need to have a rich background of literacy and critical thinking to successfully complete their journey.
My Project
The students will use their textbooks to introduce themselves to college-level reading and writing. "The Language of Composition" is used for college composition classes across America. These books will give my students a head start when they are ready for college and career opportunities.
Too many of our students find themselves at a disadvantage when they graduate from our high school, so my goal is to make them the equal of anyone in the college class or on the job.
I want for my students to reach their greatest potential. I have high standards which these books will help them reach.
More than three‑quarters of students from low‑income households
