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 Project

As a high school math teacher, I see firsthand how learning gaps and pacing challenges affect my students every day. Many struggle with attendance due to personal and family responsibilities, while others find themselves disengaged because the curriculum moves too slowly for their advanced skills. With only three months until the Regents exam, it’s crunch time, and the need for differentiated instruction has never been greater.

An iPad and stylus would be a long-term investment in my classroom, benefiting students not just this year, but for years to come.

With this tool, I can:

Support absent students by recording lessons so they never fall behind.

Implement flipped learning, giving students access to lessons at their own pace—whether they need extra reinforcement or are ready to move ahead.

Write directly on the screen using the stylus to clearly demonstrate step-by-step solutions, just as I would on the board.

Differentiate instruction effectively, helping students who have never passed the exam while also pushing higher-scoring students to reach their full potential.

Support students with disabilities by providing extra visual aids and step-by-step breakdowns, making math more accessible for all learners.

By investing in an iPad and stylus, you’re not just funding a piece of technology—you’re ensuring that all students, regardless of ability or learning pace, have the tools they need to succeed for years to come.

Thank you for believing in my students and for helping me build a more flexible, accessible, and engaging learning environment!
