Opening Our Minds to the World (Part 2)

My Students

We are starting a brand new school in Cleveland that is centered on the International Baccalaureate curriculum. Our students come from all over Cleveland and represent a dynamic mix of ethnic and socioeconomic backgrounds. The students, however, have one characteristic that truly stands out: their love and eagerness for learning.

We are working on developing and securing new books and technology for our brand new school's library.

Our brand new school needed to start our library from scratch which can be a blessing but also a large challenge. We need to make sure our students have access to the books and technology they need to make their international education truly accessible to them.

My Project

We are opening a brand new school library and we need computers for students to access the online reference materials necessary for the in-depth research an International Baccalaureate education requires from 9th to 12th grades. We also need the computers so students can access the online card catalog so students can locate and check out books. These computers will also allow students to work on classwork and papers within the library. These desktop computers will be always available in the library in comparison to the laptop carts that are used within the classrooms and are sometimes not available for use at any time.
