Celebrate Black Teachers and Students

This project is part of the Black History Month celebration because it supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of the students are Black.

My Students

My students come from diverse backgrounds, including many immigrant families. I teach at a school in Maryland where 100% of students receive free lunch and approximately 50% of our students are learning English as a second language. As such, the school has been nicknamed the "school of many nations."

Despite these challenges, our students have an inspiring desire and eagerness to learn.

Many of our students have never been to the Maryland countryside. Our school's annual trip to an educational adventure camp on the shores of the upper Chesapeake Bay would be the first time that many of our students have been away from home or seen a rural area.

My Project

As adolescents growing up in a low-income urban community, our students face many challenges. In addition to facing the challenges of adolescence itself (Who am I? Where do I belong? What is my role?), students are faced with making choices that could significantly impact their future. This is a critical time for students to make right choices such as not giving in to crime, drugs, and other issues that many see in their neighborhood. Our school’s annual 6th grade camp trip provides students with a significant life experience by teaching them about both environmental and character education. The camp stresses character building and uses outdoor education as a way to teach adolescents about making the right decisions for themselves.
