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

Our classroom is designed in a rectangular shape, which provides ample space for movement but presents challenges for teaching effectively. The layout limits the flexibility of instructional methods. The alignment of the walls and available teaching surfaces sometimes restricts how information can be presented to students.

One significant limitation is the placement of the whiteboards and the smart board.

The whiteboards span one wall, while the smart board occupies the front of the room. This configuration divides attention and creates logistical issues when transitioning between these tools during lessons. For example, shifting focus between the whiteboard and the smartboard can disrupt the flow of instruction, making it harder for students to follow along.

This setup proves particularly challenging when the lesson requires simultaneous use of both boards. Activities such as note-taking, annotating texts, giving examples, or setting sentence stems often demand seamless integration of these tools. However, the current layout forces a compromise, which can hinder the effectiveness of visual and interactive teaching strategies.
