Much like the evaluation process, the Urban Options Projects incorporates a level of importance for value.

    Through DC Reads, I had the opportunity to interact with socioeconomically diverse communities by tutoring students in Ward 7. This experience made me particularly interested in poverty and segregation issues that affect childhood development, because living in underserved areas of DC takes an unfair toll on some of the motivated students with whom I worked.

Additionally, transportation into and out of Ward 7 is less than satisfactory, so poorer families struggle to leave the desert. Thus many students are unfortunately put at a disadvantage compared to their peers who are either in close…

With ever-increasing learning demands, and limited time and resources, I quickly learned that inevitably some children fail to perform adequately among their peers. This reality came quite clear to me through my experience working and substitute teaching in a public elementary school.…
