Being an educator today is not easy. Arizona is a state that was hit particularly hard during the recession and our funding for public education continues to deplete year after year. We are told to make the most of it. We are expected to teach rigorous common core standards. We are responsible for shaping young minds. Educators do all of those things, day in and day out, with minimal resources. There is no money to adopt new curriculum. I teach in a school where the copies you make are monitored. There is no supply closet, nor any trade books. I spend almost $1000 a year on resources so that I can give my students the best possible education. Donors Choose takes some of that burden off my shoulders, and affords me the opportunity to create lessons with materials that I just don't have the funds to purchase. The novels I receive through Donors Choose will help me create 3 dynamic units of study where students can dive deeper into the text. Night, And Then There Were None, and Shakespeare's plays are all units of study that have been developed through Engage NY curriculum. This curriculum is rigorous with a heavy focus on preparing students to be a part of our global society. I am so excited to begin using these new learning materials in my class and I am deeply moved by the generosity of all of you. Thank you for your support and being a partner in education.
