My Students

The students of my classroom are a cohort of diverse, intelligent, and hardworking students from around the New York City Metropolitan area. Many of my students receive free lunch and free fare to school. Our school is a selective, public, college-preparatory school with a focus on science, math, and engineering that provides a challenging academic experience that prepares students for careers in science, math, and engineering.

My students are curious thinkers, eager to know what experiments and discoveries we will make each day.

Due to budget cuts and outdated equipment, however, our classroom struggles to fully experiment to its potential. Despite these challenges, students are still enthusiastic and classroom attendance is very high. In addition, many of my middle school students have learning differences but despite the odds against them, they still manage to finish their middle school careers with two or three high school credits! As an educator, I hope to continue to help foster their learning and growth as scientists!

My Project

This project is designed to help students and their families in our academic enrichment Executive Functioning Program. Many of our scholars come from families that have a lot of adversity in their lives (they are socioeconomically disadvantaged, many do not speak English, etc.). The families of these students care very much for their students but are sacrificing their time and efforts to make sure their entire family's basic needs are met (i.e. holding several jobs, working long shifts to earn more, etc. to make sure their is food on the table). Due to challenges in their lives, many of our students in this program have not mastered basic executive functioning skills (i.e., time management, organization, communication, etc.).

This project aims to make information accessible to all!

By teaching and reinforcing these these skills, students and their families will be better equipped to be successful in school and beyond. The supplies for this project, the computer, will allow the student interns to translate the handouts, videos, and other materials. The high power computer can run Microsoft and other programs which can support our Spanish speaking families.

For my interns, it will also give them an opportunity to learn about holding a job and the work ethic needed to succeed in that job and help others.
