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.
I'm a teacher in an elementary public school. I serve students with different disabilities in a fourth/fifth grade-level classroom. My students are faced with several challenges both in and out of the classroom. Despite the many challenges they face, I am looking for creative and simple ways to foster independence, kindness, and meaningful learning experiences for all of them.
My students come to school eager to learn, they are kind, and talented in many ways.
They like to move, they love lots of positive attention and praise, and they like to learn new information. They all receive a free breakfast and lunch based on their socioeconomic status. These things may prevent them from getting ahead early in life and may not provide them with the life experiences many of us see as "typical". By meeting their needs in a creative and positive way, I am hopeful to help them even more!
My Project
National Board is the ultimate professional development for teachers. This program consists of four components: Content Knowledge Assessment, Differentiation in instruction, Teaching practice and learning environment, and effective and reflective practitioner.
I'm requesting funds to help me cover two of the components: Teaching Practice and Learning Environment and Content Knowledge Assessment.
Research shows that students learn more from National Board Certified Teachers since the program helps teachers improve their practice. My students need all the help we can give them, please help me achieve my national board certification so I can be better prepared to help them. Thank you so much for your support!
