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 US History students are incredible critical thinkers, young historians, and debaters. They are hungry for knowledge, and deeply thoughtful about the world around them. They come from a variety of racial, cultural, linguistic, and ethnic backgrounds, and all bring the unique perspective of their lived experience, largely as young people of color, to our classroom community. They are moved by issues of injustice, inspired by history's change-makers - they ask questions that push me to re-think my perspectives every day.

I am inspired by my students every day -- when I find a new history article or an important current event occurs, my first thought is "I can't wait to talk about this with my kids!"

My classes reflects the demographics of our school -- mostly low-income students of color who face myriad struggles and obstacles on the path to success. Yet in the face of challenges, they continually demonstrate resilience, commitment, creativity, and dedication to learning.

My Project

My AP students are incredible critical thinkers - the way they absorb and critique history is innovative, college-level, and shows great intellect. They are already thinking about college and are excited for the next step in their lives. They are also about to take the most difficult exam of their high school career - the AP US History Exam - and need to be prepared.

But access to college comes with costs, and my students need costly review books to succeed on AP exams.

This project, by providing AP review books, will give them crucial tools to ace the AP exam, gain college credit, and take the next step to success.
