Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Students

The students are at my high school and preparing for their adult lives! This professional development will allow me to share the latest in creativity with our students, so they can be even better prepared for their adult lives with the most experience in varied technological skills.

I want to help our students learn the latest technology skills!

The students are hard working and love to learn. Help us teach our students the latest educational technology information. The knowledge gained at this professional development will directly impact student achievement as we will be able to implement these techniques immediately.

My Project

Your donation will help send me to the Winter Institute training event this February. I previously attended the Summer Institute, virtual session also, and it was a rewarding and worthwhile professional development. Pathfinders Institute offers us hands-on training with technology in the classroom, and gives us more to share with our students. The immersive and intensive training allows us to understand the material and problem solve and plan our own implementation simultaneously. Pathfinders Institute trainers and content have also been highly engaging and organized. I am looking forward to bringing new technology skills to my students next semester.
