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

My students from the South Bronx is a group of Autistic students that are an energetic, inquisitive, and carefree group of 22 middle school students. All of my students have unique personalities that shine throughout the day which makes educating them fun. We are a part of a large learning community that praises inclusion and empathy.

I have a talented group of students that come to class every day ready to learn with tremendous energy.

All of my students receive related services like speech therapy, occupational therapy, physical therapy, and or counseling. Even though my students have been presented with a challenge, they do not let their challenges get in the way of their education.

My Project

My students are all technologically savvy and they are always conversing about the newest gadgets. In order to further drive the point home of independence and utilization of technology, this project will allow students to write their own progress notes during the conferencing time. My classroom is all about independence and students taking ownership of their learning.

The IPAD will facilitate the writing of their progress notes and individual goals.

Technology makes progress reports seamless thus engaging the students in their learning. The students are transitioning to High School and this is another in the progression in order to become more independent students. Student-Teacher Conferences are a one-on-one forum that allows both the student and teacher to mutually discuss their concerns, feedback, and goals. The many benefits of Student-Teacher Conferences make it a very important and essential strategy to be incorporated within the classroom and also the promotion of independent learning. Student-Teacher Conferences are a powerful strategy that enables teachers to build a relationship with each student, address their needs, state their expectations and above all help students to attain their potential and work towards academic excellence.
