Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate 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

This summer, I will be participating in multiple professional development trainings focused on curriculum development, technology integration, student engagement, and inclusive teaching strategies. These opportunities are incredibly valuable—but to get the most out of them, I need a reliable, portable device that can help me stay organized, take notes, access resources, and apply what I learn in real time.

With this device, I will be able to:

Participate in interactive online trainings and webinars

Take digital notes and organize materials in real time

Access teaching apps, instructional videos, and research tools

Plan and design lessons based on new methods I’ll learn

Prepare digital resources for next school year while on the go

The iPad will also serve me beyond the summer, supporting my planning, instruction, and communication with families and students throughout the year.

Your support of this project helps more than just one teacher—it directly impacts the learning of dozens of students who walk into my classroom every day. When I grow professionally, so does my ability to guide, inspire, and empower my students.

This iPad is not just a device—it’s a tool that will help me become a more thoughtful, organized, and effective educator. Thank you for helping me give my best to my students.
