My Project
I am a proud teacher at our elementary school! Our students are the best. They come from many different cultures and backgrounds. They are excited to learn. As an educator, I am always looking for new ways to reach our students. Some learners have some challenges that affect their learning. I would love to provide our students with books with characters that have learning challenges like ADHD and other focusing challenges. These books will not only teach focusing strategies, but also provide learning opportunities for all. Students will be able to face challenges and identify tools they can use. Additionally, I would like to provide concrete tools like balls that aid in concentration and focus.This will allow a more inclusive environment at our school where all learners are supported.
More than half of students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
