Elevating Education: Your Support for My National Board Certification
FULLY FUNDED! Ms. McCarthy's classroom raised $603
This project is fully funded
My Project
Achieving my National Boards will benefit my students in so many ways. The in-depth analysis of my own teaching will help me improve my feedback to students. It will give me a chance to interact with other staff members and share the knowledge I gain in order to help them better support their students as well.
Working on my National Boards has also helped me in explaining education as a life long journey. Students become more invested in their own educational journey when they see that I take my own so seriously. Students learn better from teachers who are invested and believe in the power of a good education.
