Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate 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

I am writing to request your support for my professional development journey in mathematics education. Having completed Course 1 of the Add+VantageMR® program, I am eager to continue my growth by undertaking Course 2, specifically tailored to enhancing my ability to teach whole number topics to 5th-grade students.

Add+VantageMR® empowers educators to utilize diagnostic assessments and learning trajectories effectively in guiding classroom instruction.

Course 2 will deepen my understanding of these tools, enabling me to provide targeted interventions and support to students with diverse learning needs.

To make this opportunity a reality, I am seeking funding to cover the course, and necessary materials. Your contribution, no matter the amount, will directly impact the quality of math instruction in my classroom and the academic success of my students.

By investing in my professional development, you are investing in the future of our students. Your support will enable me to implement evidence-based teaching strategies, leading to improved student achievement and long-term academic success.

Thank you for considering my request. Your generosity will make a significant difference in the lives of countless young learners, equipping them with the mathematical skills and confidence needed to thrive in today's world.
