My Students

My students are advocates for themselves, their teammates and their community in the Bronx, NY. They are full of questions and seem to live to debate, especially if it means proving me wrong. They love competition in both athletics and academia and are truly characters; there are some shy students who prefer to draw or write to express themselves, while others can't wait to voice their opinion in discussion. My students are full of energy and eager to explore the "why" behind current events and bring their lives and real world problems into our curriculum.

Many of my students work after school to help provide for their families or have the responsibility of watching and cooking for their little sibilings while their parents work at night.

For these reasons, many students spend their lunch with me so they can compelte their homework or use my computer to type a paper. Others just come to have someone to talk to and discuss their problems with.

My school has one of the largest SPED populations in the Bronx and recently campaigned to reach more English Language Learners. My school embraces difference and welcomes students most schools turn away.

My Project

Without these computers, I am unable to play to the strengths of my students and allow them to find culturally relevant articles for debates or music and pictures for the google presentation that accompanies their poetry skits. The technology will be used to bring lessons to life and engage all students as we prepare them for the Regents.

More importantly, these computers will allow students with disabilities and English Language Learners access to audiobooks and resources they need to comprehend core texts.

When we encounter difficult vocabulary or a literary concept that is challenging, I can pull up visuals and translate definitions for students without singling them out. These computers will help keep our classroom inclusive of all learners so we can build together.

School-wide, we are implementing Google Classroom, but many students do not have access to a computer or have to share a laptop with their parents who use it for school. As educators we try and prepare kids for the real world and college, but how can we do that if they never get the chance to experience Google Classrooms, Google Docs or search the internet for credible sources that are not hand printed for them by a teacher? Students need to practice these skills early and often or we are not preparing them for college or the responsibility and grit it takes to work with technology in a positive and academic setting.
