My Project

Help Me give My Students Access to New and Updated Learning Tools

My students will benefit in several ways from their teacher receiving a grant for instructional materials:

1. Enhanced Learning Experience: With access to updated and engaging instructional resources, my students will have a more dynamic and interactive learning experience, making lessons more interesting and relevant. Many of our resources in Economics and Financial Literacy are outdated. Students will use these resources to be better able to participate in CTE activities like the Business Tradeshow(Shark Tank simulation), and pass AP Standardized exams which will help students succeed by starting college early and by saving them and their parents time and money. In addition, they can feel hopeful about the future, and not succumb to doom spending. and learn how to work and invest successfully.

2. Improved Academic Performance: Quality instructional materials can help clarify complex concepts, reinforce learning objectives, and provide additional practice opportunities, leading to improved academic performance and a better understanding of the subject matter.

3. Increased Engagement: Interactive and visually appealing materials can capture students' attention and stimulate their interest in the topic, leading to higher levels of engagement and participation in class activities. (I'm doing my best to be more engaging than TikTok).

4. Personalized Learning: With a variety of instructional materials at their disposal, I can tailor my lessons to accommodate diverse learning styles and abilities, ensuring that all students have the opportunity to succeed in regular classes and AP classes.

5. Preparation for Future Success: By using up-to-date instructional resources from Teachers Pay Teachers students can develop essential skills and knowledge that are relevant to their academic and future career endeavors, preparing them for success beyond high school. They can get early credit for Economics, Financial Literacy and AP Psychology, thus saving them time and money.
