My Students

My scholars are undergoing mass amounts of change. We are a Title I learning academy undergoing a change in the feeder pattern that will reroute over 700 scholars into our school! We will grow from 250 last year to well over 900! My kiddos are new to the middle school environment, school, and are eager to meet their fellow classmates. Seeing themselves reflected throughout curriculum and texts are essential in ensuring a successful transition into this new territory.

Our scholars are not daunted by the task at hand.

Videos/pictures cannot quite capture the energy of the incoming Mustangs; they are charged with making the best of their school year by building community. We are anticipating an awesome year!

My Project

Imagine being asked to learn new concepts that you cannot access on a personal level. Imagine not seeing people that have similar experiences/characteristics reflected in your literature, media, and curriculum. Now imagine being asked to analyze texts that have no cultural relevance to your lived experiences. Unfortunately, this is not a distant fear that can be blinked away by good intentions; this is the plight of many scholars of color! Help me pursue equity by addressing the disparities in our educational system by providing quality resources necessary for academic success to our scholars deserving equitable tools to foster academic liberation.

The selected texts serve to catalyze the formation of, feed and challenge the academic palate of scholars.

Various representations of the spectrum of human experience will engage skills to enhance literacy and deep connections to diverse figures. It's also key to notice that the works emphasize themes of social justice, emotional intelligence, political consciousness, being a global citizen, learning continuously, and an array of others.

Representation matters.
