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

My students are from every part of Washington, DC. We are a Title 1 school, where most students qualify for free and reduced-price lunch. Most of our families reside in homeless shelters and receive housing assistance.

My students are brilliant stars ready to explode with their creative talents and untapped knowledge.

The academic achievement gap is wide among my students and they often struggle with reading comprehension, fluency, and phonics. Limited access to technology in the classroom has a significant impact on the students receiving differentiated instruction, especially since majority of students do not have access to technology at home.

My Project

As an educator, I want to prepare students to be critical thinkers, problem solvers, and lifelong learners. Annotating text and improving reading comprehension is vital to building future leaders.

With a limited budget, there is still an expectation to deliver high quality instruction to move all students toward mastery.

By providing technology for our classroom, my students will gain access to a higher quality of instruction in a variety of content areas. Students will be able to interact with technology through a blended learning model, which will help them not only improve their skills across content areas, but also learn how to function and thrive in a 21st century digital world!
