I need some professional books for up-to-date reading and research about literacy and language, as well as diversity and equity in education.
FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Barber's classroom raised $351
This project is fully funded
My Project
This fall, I am hoping to work on some professional goals, both in and out of the classroom. The books I've chosen are on literacy and language - two areas that are near and dear to my heart.
These books will allow me to do some professional reading over the summer to improve my practice of teaching.
The books I have chosen are highly rated and recommended by literacy professionals. I have also chosen books that focus on racial justice and diversity. As our school is over 50% multilingual students from all over the world, I want to make sure I am applying the best practices to my students.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
