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

I teach in a high-poverty area of Los Angeles. All of my students receive a free breakfast and lunch throughout the school year. Many of the families in this community have two-income households and, yet are still barely making ends meet. Having a tough family life where priorities revolve around needs and not wants can make it tough for my little Kinder babies to learn and grow at home. Being safe and having food on the table is what's most important. There isn't much time or money to take the kids out to learn and explore.

My Project

The conference will immerse me in the equity-centered design process as a tool for innovative practice.

This conference will broaden my knowledge base on the ISTE standards.

The standard that will be the focus is 4. Innovative Designer. (Students use a variety of technologies within a design process to identify and solve problems by creating new, useful or imaginative solutions.) The conference will allow me to reflect and synthesize desired mindsets to foster a creative space, apply design thinking to curriculum and explore the standards and units of study. I will be able to evaluate authentic opportunities to partner with industry so that students can foster creative and innovative problem-solving skills.
