Professional Development for a Teacher Eager to Learn!

I need the Wilson Reading System training to help better serve my students.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Tkacs-Soli's classroom raised $811

This project is fully funded

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

My students attend a therapeutic day program in Bridgeport Connecticut. Most of my students are diagnosed with either an emotional or psychological disability which prevents them from attending their general education neighborhood schools. All of my students come from a low socioeconomic background and 100% of my students qualify for free school lunch.

My Project

This Wilson Reading System professional development would allow me to be trained in how to implement an intensive reading program that will benefit my students!

All of my students are receiving special education services and most of them are below grade level in reading.

By becoming trained in Wilson, I will be able to use this program in addition to my student's general curriculum to help teach them how to read. I am very eager to learn about this program and hope that you will consider donating! Thank you so much!
