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.
Our students are diverse and enthusiastic. Our small city is made up of families in need, who know education is the key to their children's opportunities for happiness and success.
Some of our families have no technology access from home, and in our school, we have a shortage of access as well.
Our schools continue to be underfunded by our state, and compared to other districts nearby, we struggle to provide the basics, and are in need for things other schools take for granted.
My Project
Our state adopted new national science standards but provided no funding for items needed to teach and learn the new content. Well-funded districts shifted their purchasing to cover their needs for the new standards. For schools with no science budget, like ours, there was nothing to shift.
My students need basic items to understand how to collect evidence and analyze it, with their own hands.
Currently, we perform many investigations as virtual (on paper. We don't have regular access to computers) investigations. Having measuring tools and lab kits allows my students to understand that measuring tools and data collection begin the path to answering questions.
More than half 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
