Help me give my students a inspirational diverse library. Diversity is key when creating equality.
FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Beards's classroom raised $415
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
My students are eager to learn and explore diverse topics. As their teacher I not only want to inspire but also prepare students for a competitive workforce. As it stands my library is filled with books that hold little to no connections with the population I teach. The books on this list will allow students to develop respect for themselves and other cultures. In return they will take their new found knowledge and inspire the world to make a change. Let's try our best to give students the tools they need to create an equally diverse culture.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
