Student Driven Learning

Help me give my students access to materials to guide their progress towards their learning goals.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Shepherd's classroom raised $533

My Project

My students are a diverse group of learners that have shown success when they are provided multiple and differing opportunities to practice their learning. Teachers Pay Teachers have so many amazing and learning specific activities created by knowledgeable educators. My students have shown engagement and growth with the handful of activities I have found. With the addition of reusable materials and attention-grabbing paper, I predict high quality student focus.

The impact of a few updated activities and materials can be astounding.

I am eager to see the excitement and extension of learning that these materials can elicit. With the help of these materials, I can always have these activities ready to go when my students show that they need to practice or extend their learning.

As students reach goals, we always celebrate! We have whole class goal celebrations and tracking opportunities to show off their learning. This moment lights up these students like light bulbs!
