Please Help Me Get Books For An Intro. To Business Class!

My students need textbooks for Intro. to Business, a new course at my school.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Emily Cohen's classroom raised $840

My Students

My students deserve every advantage! Unfortunately, there just isn't enough funding available to teachers like me who want to give students a varied and beneficial educational experience. I need your help so we can help the students together! Let's bring new textbooks for a new class to them!

My students have dreams and goals!

Many of them will be the first in their family to graduate from high school, and/or go to college. Based on my conversations with my students, approximately 50% would like to major in business, and I want to give them the foundation for success. This course will help them achieve their dreams! I teach at a magnet school in Pennsylvania that has a specialty in JROTC. 100% of the students in our school receive free breakfast and lunch.

My Project

I found a comprehensive business curriculum that is published by Glencoe. It is called Introduction to Business, and Standard and Poors was involved in the publication. The textbook includes relevant vocabulary that will expand their knowledge base. Each chapter connects the material with other subject areas (such as English and math). It also includes questions that will assist them with standardized test practice. Finally, and the part that seems most exciting to me, there are projects at the end of each chapter that require the use of various technological tools and software applications.

Prior to beginning my teaching career, I worked in corporate finance, budgeting and accounting.

I have the real-world experience that is valued highly in many industries. This expertise will also serve to broaden the educational experience for my students. As soon as I mentioned that the publisher donated books, my students beamed because they knew how hard I worked to make this happen for them. I now have 13 students in the class, and 5 books. I'm close to getting one book for each student!
