My Project

This is my fifth you’re teaching at a title in high school, specifically teaching marketing. Our school is underfunded and our students come from typically lower income households. My classes include certification system students will take in pass that they will be able to add to their resume immediately at no cost to them.

While giving my students lifelong business skills, their certification success relies on a binder.

I use my money, typically to buy the binders and I print out a workbook for each student so they are able to study sufficiently. My year one students learn social media marketing, my year two students learn, entrepreneurship and small business, and lastly, my year three students learn project management institute project management ready certification, as well as communication skills in business. With your help, I can provide binders to all of my students so that I can personally buy their loose leaf paper, writing utensils, etc.
