My Project
I am requesting a laptop to support my professional development as I work to realign the 6th and 7th grade math curriculum with state standards. Throughout the school year, I have noticed significant learning gaps in my students. Many are struggling to master foundational skills, which impacts their ability to engage with grade-level content. I want to help them bridge these gaps by redesigning my lessons with intentionality, ensuring each unit and activity is purposeful, standards-based, and aligned with the skills students need to succeed.
This summer, I am dedicating time to revise my curriculum, analyze state assessment frameworks, and research evidence-based teaching strategies.
However, without a laptop, I am limited in my ability to access digital tools, high-quality instructional resources, and planning platforms that are essential to this work. A laptop will allow me to create more effective, data-driven lesson plans that are tailored to the specific needs of my students.
By investing in this project, you are not only helping me grow as a more reflective and effective educator but also directly impacting student learning outcomes. With the right technology, I can strengthen my instructional practices, implement more rigorous and engaging lessons, and foster an environment where every student can build confidence, close skill gaps, and achieve success in math. This work is not just about improving test scores—it’s about empowering learners and equipping them with the tools they need to thrive.
