Not Only Kids Need To Learn!

I need this training to help my students and grade level build community and receive more hands on instruction.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Weir's classroom raised $573

My Students

My students are highly motivated to succeed. Unfortunately, they lack the resources to reach their potential. My students come from very low income, highly mobile families.

My school is a very large elementary school with over 1,000 students just in K-5.

With this large amount of students, many fall through the cracks or get overlooked. My students have the desire to learn, but not all of them have the resources available to reach the goals that they set for themselves.

My Project

I am requesting the opportunity to attend a professional development conference at the Ron Clark Academy. This conference will allow me to gain new strategies for teaching I can implement in my classroom. I am confident that the knowledge I will gain from this conference will help me to become an even more effective teacher to my students. The knowledge I will attain from this experience will benefit my students for years to come.

The knowledge gained from this unique experience will directly impact the success of my students.

This training will allow me to better reach my students where they are at and how I can effectively teach them. This conference will give me tips on how to create community within my classroom and school.
