Help me give my students This one-of-a-kind professional development opportunity that offers teachers the chance to learn how to incorporate groundbreaking strategies for engaging families in learning that seamlessly integrate into instructional plans.
We are a small, rural community. The students in this school need opportunities to be successful and shine. I have 6th, 7th, and 8th-grade students who are involved in many team sports and fitness training.
We are striving to bridge gaps in the high population of at-risk students at our school.
Our student engagement, achievement, and motivation are enhanced through the integration of extracurricular activities. Students transfer what they learn from team sports into the classroom. This teamwork, striving to be the best, and winning attitude makes our students try their best in every aspect of their life.
We are very proud to be a STEM academy. We strive to engage our students and encourage high standards and success without limits. When students are excited about learning, they are more successful. We teach our children to be team players, to be punctual, to have pride in their efforts, and to always do their best whether on the field, court, classroom, or future job.
My Project
I would like to get POWERMYLEARNING for four of our Middle School Classrooms. "
"Designed for teachers in grades 3-8, the PowerMyLearning Family Engagement Innovators Program includes professional development and 12-months of access to PowerMyLearning's award-winning Family Playlists®— a multilingual, mobile-friendly homework innovation that leverages the “learning by teaching” strategy to have students teach what they are learning to a family partner at home.
The research-based innovation has proven impact on student understanding and social emotional learning: students using Family Playlists made statistically significant gains in math proficiency equivalent to four additional months of learning. Participating teachers have access to over 200 pre-built, standards-aligned playlists across subjects. Featured in the The New York Times and EdSurge, Family Playlists are available in over 100 languages, and require no parent email or app download, making it easy for all families to participate!"
Teachers receive professional development around family engagement including a launch webinar, personalized 1:1 follow-up sessions, and access to quarterly webinars. After attending the professional development sessions, teachers receive an official Certificate of Completion. The fundraising teacher can extend this program to 4 other teachers at their school!
