Celebrate Black Teachers and Students

This project is part of the Black History Month celebration because it supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of the students are Black.

My Students

My school is located in the southern sector of Dallas county. We service an exponential number of at-risk students (high retention rate, high absenteeism, discipline referrals, high drop out rate, teen-pregnancy and large SPED population). We strive to not only prepare students academically but socially and emotionally as well. We want them to be productive citizens no matter what course they take in life (college, trade school, military or work-force). We recognize that we cannot reach these students in the traditional manner that we ourselves were accustomed to. We must be creative and innovative in our approach.

My Project

Black history is American history. The achievements and struggles of Black people are intertwined within the American past. My students come from a variety of ethnic, economic, and linguistic backgrounds. One thing they share is a love of learning. I want to affirm my Black students and students of color with print rich decor that represents them. My students deserve a setting that is reflective of them and shares contributions made by people of different backgrounds. I hope that when my students see this representation they will feel appreciated and remind them that they are important. It is my hope that my students will become more interested in science and social studies after seeing what others that look like them, other African-Americans, Hispanic Americans, and women.
