Professional development

Growing Teachers One PD at a Time!

I need help to inspire our teacher teams to want to grow professionally and become better equipped to handle our students emotionally and academically.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Griffin-Hamlin's classroom raised $639

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

As a teacher leader on campus, I am always trying to become better in my profession. Oftentimes I am asked how I do it and where do I find the time.

Our students deserve the best teachers; this will help us all learn new, effective strategies to become more effective in and out of the classroom, becoming the best educators for our students to grow from.

I am looking forward to volunteer afterschool sessions, where my colleagues can come to get quick nuggets and valuable information that can lead to a positive change in the classroom and beyond.

These requested materials are going to be valuable in the long run and provide a wealth of knowledge.
