Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate 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 Project

As a dual-certified English and Special Education teacher at renowned DeWitt Clinton High School, I would SO appreciate your support in creating an optimal learning environment for my students.

As a teacher in the DOE, I receive $250 per year to spend on school supplies.

This does not go far or cover much at all. I always end up spending hundreds of dollars of my own money (and still plan on doing that) but it's never enough to meet the diverse and expansive needs of my students. My project aims at helping students succeed despite the many post covid hurdles that they still face.

My project focuses on three areas of need - learning environment, support for needy populations (special education, English language learners), and content/skill support.

In terms of the learning environment, research supports the fact that students will be more motivated and focused on learning if their study space is clean and tidy. Some of the supplies (cleaning supplies, oil diffuser, soothing lighting) will help to alleviate feelings of stress and anxiety which should in turn positively impact learning.

Many of my students have diverse learning needs and need differentiated/modified instruction. Some of my supplies (reading comprehension cubes, vocabulary posters, highlighters,) will help these students have access to the curriculum.

Finally, as an English teacher, I included some supplies to support the students with content. Reading and writing strategy reference posters, hanging folders (which will be stored in the classroom as writing portfolios), and writing utensils will help the students stay engaged with the English content.

Please help me to accomplish my goals by donating to my project Thanks in advance!
