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.
My Project
The 2024-2025 school year is my 33rd year teaching. Over these years, I have procured a bachelor's degree, a master's degree, and an additional 50+ graduate credits. Although my school district provides a plethora of professional development, most of it is not what I require; therefore, I am requesting books to help me gather the knowledge I desire.
Professional Development is essential for every teacher.
The books I am requesting deal with the multicultural classroom and differentiating instruction to meet the needs of all students. These resources will build a culturally response literacy classroom where the needs of all my wonderful students will thrive.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
