Celebrate Black Teachers and Students

This project is part of the Black History Month celebration because it supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of the students are Black.

My Project

I am requesting professional development books that will support me and my colleagues in making meaningful changes that challenge us daily in our classrooms. The four books will give educators a choice and small group workshops. The workshops will consists of cross curriclular small groups working on various assignments and activities. The resource books from this project will teach educators how to implement instruction, stations, daily routines, cultural awareness, parent engagement, creativity to difficult lessons and more that will support students' academic growth.

This project will support my colleague and myself in providing meaningful instruction to all of our students.

Educators and students will be better prepared for the classroom and for life with the use of the small group needed professional development sessions. For educators, by educators, to implement for our students.
