I need to renew my membership with the Council for Exceptional Children!
FULLY FUNDED! Dr. Woods's classroom raised $308
This project is fully funded
My Project
I have an amazing group of students in my classroom. What makes them special is not only their individual personalities, but their ability to navigate through their academic day with a variety of learning hurdles. Personally, I am most amazed by their ability to continue to inspire me to be a better educator.
To support my students and the research I am conducting in my doctoral program, I would like to renew my membership with the Council of Exceptional Children.
The Council of Exceptional Children aligns perfectly with my role as an Exceptional Needs teacher! This is a professional association of educators dedicated to advancing the success of children with exceptionalities. There are very few organizations that cater specifically to the educational needs of this population of students. Becoming a member of CEC doesn't just end with receiving a network of specialized instruction teachers. There are also opportunities for professional development with options that work for teachers.
Additionally, I am interested in the literature that this organization provides. Being able to receive resources specific to my student population, opportunities to travel for conferences related to resources received, and the ability to provide input during novel studies is an opportunity that will be ongoing and endless. I am hoping that you will see the benefits of this organization!
More than half of 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
