My Project

Funding for this project would allow me to acquire and develop a robust collection of professional development books for the students in my school and lay the groundwork for encouraging a growth mindset in our students. I am requesting resource materials, including research-based reference books for educators and student activity guides. Additionally, I would like to provide books written for middle school scholars to picture themselves achieving success with financial literacy. These books and materials will be available to scholars who are interested in financial literacy and how to apply it to real-world situations. As an educator, my responsibility is to be knowledgeable and aware of how financial concerns or lack thereof affect the class. Teachers and administrators learn together about mindset and the importance of helping our students develop a mindset of growth.
