My Students

Help us engage with the world around us! The technology in our Special Education Resource Class is seriously lacking, and we need an LCD projector to help us improve literacy through global learning!

My students attend a high-poverty public middle school in Washington, DC.

All of the students at our school qualify for free and reduced lunch, and many are several grade levels behind in reading and math. Further, all of the students in my class have disabilities ranging from Specific Learning Disabilities to Emotional Disturbance. They require a rich, multi-sensory environment to help them to engage and interact with the material. Unfortunately, special education classes are often the last to benefit from school resources, and my class was one of the few at our school not provided with an LCD Projector to enhance learning. Help level the playing field for my students, who already face enormous challenges, by funding our project!

My Project

Few of my students have been outside Washington, DC, let alone their own neighborhoods. I've designed a curriculum that promotes literacy through learning around the world we live in, and in order to help them better access that content, I would love to be able to provide them with multimedia to enhance their learning. Imagine learning about Asia without being able to even locate the continent on a map. Now picture a classroom full of rich visuals, multimedia presentations, and engaging videos. Helping us to get an LCD projector will allow my students to truly enjoy the modern classroom, complete with functioning technology, that they deserve.

Think about the broad exposure that YOU have had to the world.

For my students, anything going on outside of Washington, DC is completely foreign. Helping us buy an LCD projector will bring our lessons to life and will allow my students to engage with the world around them.
