Shakespeare in the City: Help Me Build Equity in Resources

Help me give my students with disabilities the texts they need to support learning because they deserve equity in resources and materials for learning!

My Project

Students at our academy are resilient and strong with a desire to learn and grow. The materials and resources afforded them in Baltimore City is so disparate and simple materials like books that you expect in every classroom are not abundantly available at our Charter School. After teaching in a more affluent district in Maryland, I am on a mission to secure equity in resources for all students but particularly my students with disabilities in 9th grade with this project.

My students with disabilities are not provided with the same resources that are available to the more affluent school districts in Maryland and they deserve more!

Your donation can provide what should be a basic provision in all schools nationwide but is so devastatingly disparate in the inner city: BOOKS. By providing texts in more modern ways with scaffolded support as found in No-Fear Shakespeare and Graphic Novels that are representative of people in their community and family make texts less intimidating and more accessible for students who don't even have a well-stocked library at their school. Thank you for helping me level the trajectory for our students in Baltimore City by giving to this campaign and others that support inner city students. This is only the beginning for my students!
