My Project

This project will help me give my high school students children's books to better understand difficult concepts. They will be able to read the books from the child perspective and get different point of views. I teach over 100 students each semester so this will allow so many students to be able to better understand how their potential children understand topics. This will not only allow my high school students to better understand the topics taught in child development but will also better prepare them for the future and to get a broader picture of what happens from conception to preschool.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
