Celebrate Black Teachers and Students

This project is part of the Black History Month celebration because it supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of the students are Black.

My Project

I am asking for a variety of professional development books that will help me grow as a teacher. I’ve been teaching for seventeen years, but there is always something new to learn or technology to keep up with. These books will help me to learn and grow so that I can be a better teacher for my students. All of the books apply directly to my classroom and can impact my ability to be a better teacher from learning new methods for dealing with a noisy class to keeping up with the developments in AI.

These books will provide me with tangible strategies I can use in my classroom to make learning more accessible and enjoyable for my students.

AI is all the rage and the topic of many workshops, but how can I use it to benefit my students? Are there new, fresh ways for me to share and teach about design thinking? What is my Makerspace missing, how can I make sure my students are getting the most out of it? The answers may be found in the pages of those books and with your help I can grow as a lifelong learner.
