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 Students

We work at an urban school in New York City serving a high-needs student population where over 90% of our students are on free or reduced lunch. Our students are from all 5 boroughs of New York City and we are part of the NYS Performance Consortium where we believe that project-based assessment is a better measure of student progress and performance than high stakes tests.

We design our curricula to be student-centered, project-based and we work hard to prepare all of our students for college.

Due to budget cuts our department is unable to replace obsolete graphing calculators and give each student the experience of using a graphing calculator in class.

My Project

These materials are imperative for our students’ success. Our school is all about college-readiness. They will be expected to know how to use these calculators in college and it is our goal to have each student be.

It’s a disservice to our students to not be able to fully prepare them for basic college expectations.

To help prepare students to enter a technology oriented world, we must expose them to graphing calculators and how math relates to technology.

If our students were in a district that was more affluent, parents would provide individual calculators for their children. Our students’ families are unable to do this and it is up to us to provide calculators to our students. Help us to even the playing field between our students and their more affluent peers in New York City by providing funding for graphing calculators in our math classrooms.
