Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

The professional learning books are geared towards building a thinking classroom and supporting diverse learners in the mathematics classroom. These professional development books will help me gain new skills and perspectives to learn effective teaching strategies and research-based practices in order to continue improving my instruction for my diverse body of students. I am also requesting a Teachers Pay Teachers (TPT) gift card to purchase additional resources to implement strategies and structured lessons for my diverse learners. Thank you for your support on this journey to continually learn and grow as a teacher.
