This project is part of the Black History Month celebration because it supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of the students are Black.
My Students
Not every child has an equal talent or an equal ability or equal motivation, but they should have the equal right to develop their talent and their ability and their motivation, to make something of themselves.” ― John F. Kennedy
My class is an Integrated Co-Teaching (ICT) classroom which includes students with and without disabilities.
The variety of disabilities includes speech and language impairments, autism, learning disorders and developmental delays. My students love listening to stories and reading. We are a Title I school in a high needs area of Brooklyn, NY.
My Project
Students will use the 4 iPads, protection plans, cases, rechargeable batteries, battery rechargers, headphones, Hot Dots pens, Hot Dots activity cards, and other technologies to aid with phonics and to develop beginning reading skills. The class set of Hot Dots will be used independently to develop letter and phonemic awareness, and word recognition. The iPads will be used with educational apps to support our special needs students with their multi-sensory learning needs.
These technologies will motivate reluctant learners to become independent readers.
Reading is passport to the world and in order to bridge the achievement gap, students need the tools that will allow them to be successful at their own pace.
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
