My Project

Completing the National Board Certification will assist in the implementation of literacy lessons and interventions that will be utilized in the classroom.

National Board Certification represents my commitment to continued professional growth.

As I grow professionally, my students, school, and community will benefit from engaging, high-quality literacy/reading instruction, family literacy resources, and community collaboration. Your support is an investment in both my professional journey and the literacy/reading achievements of my students. Effective implementation of literacy/reading lessons can only come from educators who are properly trained. Obtaining my National Board Certification ensures that I have the knowledge to effectively implement such lessons.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
