Empower My Teaching Journey: CTEL 1 Exam Preparation Course
I need support to cover the costs of the CTEL 1 course, required for obtaining a teaching credential to support English learners in California.
FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Paula Buide Lopez's classroom raised $961
This project is fully funded
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
By completing the CTEL 1 exam preparation course, I will enhance my ability to effectively teach English learners, ensuring I have the knowledge and skills to create an inclusive, supportive classroom environment. The strategies and techniques I gain will help me better differentiate instruction, provide targeted language support, and address the unique needs of my students. This professional development will allow me to foster a more engaging and effective learning experience, ultimately helping my students build stronger language skills, achieve academic success, and feel more confident in their educational journey.
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
