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 in a low-income/high poverty middle school, my students are faced with several challenges both in and out of the classroom. For many students, school is seen as an escape or safe haven from the constant violence and turmoil they experience in their home lives.

My school is nowhere near perfect, but it has the potential to be an amazing learning environment; we just need the right support from the parents, students, and community, such as yourself.

The achievement gap is real and I witness this on a daily basis. The first step in attempting to close the gap is ensuring that students have the necessary materials and technology to succeed. It is near impossible to incorporate 21st Century skills without access to working computers and the internet.

I could go on and on about school data about how my school is unaccredited, many are behind grade level, make-up is 98% African American in a poverty stricken environment, 99% of the students receive free or reduced lunch, etc. The problem I see with that is the fact that those are just numbers on paper. In spite of that, I refuse to simply view my students as just a number.

My Project

Many of my students, over 100 of them, are English Language Learners. I quickly learned over our virtual year that these students are proud learners. When we get back into the classroom I want them to be able to see their success.

With a printer, students will be able to print out their success to hang in the classroom.

English is their second language and to see their growth in the language will only push them to want to learn more.

Ultimately, I know my students will be successful, but being able to hang up their own work with pride - that is what teaching is all about.
