Celebrating 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.
Our students are young adults who are between 18 to 22 years of age but continue to qualify for continued education provided by the district.
They are amazing students who choose to be in the program to obtain crucial skills needed for a successful transition from student of a school district to adult life.
We focus on the following areas: vocational skills, daily living skills, and post-secondary education.
They have a desire to be the best they can be, and we assist in getting them there. Whether that be working/volunteering in the community, getting around independently, taking community college classes, etc. We are fortunate enough to have built and maintained relationships in our community to have the students volunteer at many different sites (such as retail, warehouse, etc.) to gain job experience hopefully leading to gainful employment. They also actively practice and train to ride public transportation while some even attend community college to build on remedial skills or take hobby classes.
My Project
I am always striving to better myself as an educator to better serve my students. Currently, there is only one teacher on my campus who holds their National Board Certification. National Board Certification is a process that allows teachers an opportunity to prove their effectiveness in the classroom by completing four total components in their area of expertise. I am currently wrapping up components 1 & 2 and gearing up to complete 3 & 4 next school year. National Board Certification is a public assurance that teachers have met the profession’s highest standards for accomplished practice.
"Every student deserves to be taught by an accomplished teacher.
National Board Certification was designed to develop, retain and recognize accomplished teachers and to generate ongoing improvement in schools nationwide. It is the most respected professional certification available in K-12 education."
DonorsChoose is the most trusted classroom funding site for teachers.
As a teacher-founded nonprofit, we're trusted by thousands of teachers and supporters across the country. This classroom request for funding was created by Mrs. Sosa and reviewed by the DonorsChoose team.
