My Students

Every day, I am greeted by my students’ enthusiasm and curiosity for learning! My students are in grades 6 and 8 and are a cohort of diverse, intelligent, and hardworking students from around the New York City Metropolitan area. Our school is a selective, public, college preparatory school with a focus on science, math, and engineering that provides a challenging academic experience that prepares students for careers in science, math, and engineering.

As a teacher in a low income school, I see the challenges students are faced with both inside and outside of the classroom.

Many of our students are the first in their families to attend school and receive free or reduced rate lunch and transportation fares based on their socioeconomic status. Due to budget cuts, our students are forced to use outdated equipment which in-turn restricts the learning that can occur in the classroom. Regardless of these challenges, attendance is very high and they still manage to finish their middle school careers with two or three high school credits!

My Project

My students need technology to help them break the wall of classroom learning! Having more technology in our classroom will allow my students to grow academically. These Chromebooks will give my students the opportunity to do online research, access first hand research, utilize core subject teaching tutorials and programs, and create presentations to exhibit to the community. With these Chromebooks, I will also be able to train them in being literate in basic computer skills. With the growth of technology in general, students need to be literate in basic computer functions such as creating documents in various programs such as Microsoft and Google, saving documents, using email, etc.

My project will also help close gaps not only in the general education classroom but also provide students with disabilities access to equal education.

These Chromebooks will improve the way students with disabilities learn in class. With these Chromebooks, my students with physical disabilities will be able to better take notes by typing and dictation. Additionally, my other students with various other disabilities (i.e. dyslexia, ADHD, etc.), will be able to benefit from computer programs designed to help them be more successful (i.e. make reading more manageable through reading programs, annotating software, dictation software, etc.).
