Celebrating 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
I'm an educator in a Title I school in the Bronx. Our school is comprised of many students who are first and second generation immigrants as well as students with disabilities. While we have students that come from very hard-working and decent families, we also educate a population of students that come from homes stricken by poverty and dysfunction. I educate students that are bilingual with disabilities whose disabilities are often compounded by their living situation. My students' disabilities vary from autism to emotionally disturbed, but these are just labels. I want my students to defy every label that has been assigned and/or implied because of their circumstances.
My students inspire me to be better every day because they are amazing and are deserving of my absolute best!
They are curious, motivated to learn, and hard workers despite the hardships that they face. They educate me as much I do them! My goal is to have my students recognize that they should never limit their potential and their future does not need to be determined by their circumstances.
My Project
Due to the unprecedented circumstance of COVID-19, teachers have been tasked with re-creating the classroom virtually. It has been a struggle to get students to complete tasks independently. This is due to the fact that they often lack the support at home to do their assignments because their parents are essential workers, do not understand the work, or struggle with the language. A Pear Deck Premium subscription would allow me to engage my students in their learning.
This subscription would allow me to recreate my classroom practices virtually, so that I can give all my learners an opportunity to engage in the content they are learning in multiple ways!
I will be able to read directions and text to my students that struggle to read. Additionally, I will be able to create engaging lessons that mimic how we discuss topics in our classroom through the use of polling. Most importantly, I will also be able to provide my students with multiple ways to demonstrate their learning in a one stop document instead of utilizing so many different applications.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
