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 Project

Having access to resources that strive to address equity, achieve inclusion, and promote cultural diversity is an integral part of our school and my classroom. The material from this project will give my students resources to be able to succeed in the classroom. We, as teachers, need to realize that there are different modalities of learning, and that all students are different and work on ways to embrace that. It is important for our students to feel a part of the school and see themselves as an integral part of our school. We want them to feel accepted and embraced in school, in the classroom, and in the curriculum. Learning tables and diversity books will help with that.

What better way to promote acceptance, diversity, and inclusion than through a classroom that provides resources for different kinds of learners.

Presently, equal access to resources is not present. The inequity of resources is creating educational gaps. How is it that we continue to repeat the issue of inequity of resources? At that point, students become aware that access to resources is much more prevalent in other communities. Let’s be the change.
