Goal

My goal is to ensure that all students have equitable access to essential Spanish - English language resources, regardless of their financial circumstances. By providing Spanish-to-English dictionaries for classroom and home use, we can support students' academic success in Spanish courses.

Each year, we serve students who wish to complete vocabulary and writing assignments at home but lack reliable internet access or digital resources. Providing hardcover dictionaries helps eliminate this barrier by giving students a dependable reference tool that can be used both in the classroom and at home. Access to these resources will strengthen literacy, vocabulary development, and writing skills, helping students build the foundational skills necessary for success in high school and beyond.

What will be done with my students

Effective instruction often requires supporting students across multiple content areas, particularly those who are developing English language proficiency. By providing each Spanish Language Learner with a Spanish/English dictionary in class, we can help build the foundational language skills necessary for success in high school level Spanish elective courses in the middle school setting.

This resource serves as an important first step in students' language development by enabling them to strengthen vocabulary acquisition, reading comprehension, and academic confidence.  

 

Benefits to my Students

Developing the ability to utilize print reference materials encourages independent learning and critical thinking. These non-electronic literacy skills are valuable not only for high school success but also for future career readiness, where the ability to access and apply information independently remains an essential skill. The project will be measured and evaluated using data from Spanish II annual assessment.
