A chain reaction of support starts with one share.
This project is part of the Black History Month celebration because it supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of the students are Black.
My Students
For eighteen of the last nineteen years of competition, my students, who are enrolled in advanced science classes, have received nearly 50% of all of the top positions in the regional science fair in our area of the state. In 2019, we earned a whopping 72% of all of the awards. Many of these same students have gone on to compete and win at the state level, and fifteen have advanced to the international competition.
This is a tremendous accomplishment considering that 100% of my students are underrepresented minority students who live below the poverty line.
We are currently virtual, and the ability to present their work has gone from face-to-face to digital.
My current peripheral equipment is inadequate to meet the demands required to continue the required level of technological instruction effectively. I am requesting assistance in purchasing the peripherals to accompany a new computer that will allow students to save large digital presentations and do face-to-face presentations when we are able to return to school.
My Project
Currently, my classes are 100% virtual. Student presentations and class artifacts are shared with me through Google Drive and my students' copies are saved on a school computer. My students do not have access to portable storage devices of their own to back up work
With the nature of technology, outages, and Wi-Fi issues around our city, I want to be able to assure both parents and students that I have a digital copy of their work in a secure location with a portable hard drive.
When the students return to face-to-face instruction, they will present the fruits of their labor publicly and through digital platforms.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
