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

As a teacher at a vocational school known throughout NYC for its Fashion Design major, you wouldn't expect physics to be an available class. And yet these students asked for physics to be offered.

You'd be hard pressed to find another class of 30+ girls taking physics at any other coed public school in the US.

These girls engage in meaningful science experiences and don't think twice about social norms that discourage them from pursuing STEM goals. Most students go on to study in college STEM majors including engineering and medicine.

My Project

Students struggle to put to paper ideas for fear of being wrong. Research shows, for example, that some of the gap between the performance of boys and girls on the old SAT can be explained by the hesitancy of girls to guess.

But any good teacher will tell you it is by committing yourself to a position you will learn much more from the mistake than by not trying at all.

Erasable whiteboards are a low-tech solution to an age old problem. Because the whiteboard can be easily erased with no remnants of the old answer, students become more willing to try something out. Whiteboards also allow students to more easily collaborate within a group and more easier share their results than if they were using standard classroom paper.
