My Project
As an educator, I'm always seeking creative ways to bring learning to life, and a podcast is the next exciting step. This teacher-led podcast will serve as a dynamic instructional tool, allowing me to deliver content in a fresh, flexible, and engaging format. Whether it's breaking down complex concepts, exploring current events, or offering review sessions and enrichment material, the podcast will give teachers and students consistent access to high-quality instruction, even outside of the traditional classroom setting.
I’ll use the podcast as a platform for teachers to access quick, impactful mini-lessons, explore various instructional roles across the district, and spotlight innovative projects happening in our schools.
Whether it’s a five-minute strategy tip, an interview with a district leader, or a feature on a successful classroom initiative, this audio resource will serve as an accessible tool for ongoing professional growth. Teachers can listen during planning periods, commutes, or downtime—gaining new insights, ideas, and inspiration to bring back to their own classrooms.
To bring this podcast to life, I’m seeking funding for professional-grade recording equipment and editing software. These tools will allow me to create clear, polished, and consistent episodes that students can rely on throughout the school year. With your support, I can extend my impact as an educator—using my voice to guide, reteach, and inspire students every step of the way.
