Professional development

Helping Students Improve Literacy Skills

I need professional resources to help my students with behaviors and trauma.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Mcconnell's classroom raised $214

This project is fully funded

My Project

This exciting professional development project will help me discover new, proven strategies to empower me with tools that translate into student motivation, engagement, and academic (literacy) success. This will be a highly engaging and needed professional development, introducing me to the most current, innovative instructional practices that will inspire intrinsic motivation in your reluctant students through these books.

These professional books will help equip me with an expanded "toolbox" of proven strategies that will increase student engagement, maximize motivation in literacy, and develop confidence, ultimately leading to more rewarding and meaningful learning outcomes in the classroom.
