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 am a teacher at an inner-city school region with a large, diverse population of students with special needs from low-income families. The students at our school are eager learners looking to find a safe and secure place to learn. Many of our students are from immigrant families from Cuba, Puerto Rico, Honduras, and other South American countries that are faced with many challenges. Our school provides a home for a diverse and cultural community. Many of our students participate in the Head Start Program.

Our school looks to promote diversity and inclusion in a Title I school in which our students come from diverse backgrounds such as very low-income families, at many times below the poverty line.

Ninety percent of our students receive free or reduced-price lunch. Our school is located in the heart of one of the lowest socioeconomic neighborhoods where many parents do not speak English. Within my classroom, I also have several students that are English Language Learners as well as special needs students with a variety of challenges such as ADHD and learning disabilities. These conditions can make it difficult for students to learn, and they can benefit from any aid or assistance.

My Project

Currently due to the pandemic, I am unable to have access to the same resources that I usually have during a regular school year. Special area teachers are coming to our classrooms to work to social distance students and minimize contact with other students. As a result, I am often displaced from my classroom and do not have the proper materials to plan effective and efficient content with which to teacher my students. Without the appropriate resources, I find it difficult to be able to plan effective lessons that will meet the needs of my digital students during distance learning.

With a teacher pay teacher gift card and headphones, I will be able to move easily throughout the school year and have access to digital resources that will make planning for distance learning much more simple.

I won't be worried about having resources with me because they are digital and the headphones are easily portable. This will allow me the opportunity to provide my students with proper lessons that are catered to their needs without feeling as though I do not have my materials with me. It would allow me to plan the lessons that my students truly deserve even during a pandemic.
