My Students

The girls at our school come from everywhere. From Mali to the Dominican Republic and everywhere in between, they cross oceans and continents to find themselves in our classrooms in New York City. They are bright, diverse, fierce, proud and they are hungry for opportunity.

As an unscreened, Title One school, many of our students come to us far below grade level in math and reading.

They struggle with learning and behavioral disabilities, traveling from communities that commonly experience violence or crime or from single parent households that are almost always run by devoted mothers who want nothing but the best for their daughters.

Many of our girls are eager to experience success. It's up to our school's team of educators, counselors, administrators and other school staff to provide the tools, materials and other supports necessary for each young woman to reach her full potential.

My Project

The use of video and audio clips in the classroom is an especially important part of learning for students with special needs in general education classrooms. While many students can focus easily during whole class instruction, others require additional modifications that will allow them to access learning in a variety of ways. Having laptops with headphones and headphone splitters will allow me to teach a smaller group of students the same material, but at a varied pace, or with different video or audio that won't distract other students who are listening or watching a separate one.

By donating to our project, you will be providing students with an opportunity to learn in a smaller group, to build their confidence, and increase their focus and achievement.

These materials will give students the access to learning that they crave, at a pace that they can match.
