Teacher Professional Development: I need a Microsoft Surface and cover in addition to a variety of science and technology professional readings to deepen my level of content knowledge so that my students get the best teacher daily!<profdevpilot>
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 Students
Do you get excited about books relating to your profession? My favorite thing to read about is teaching. I have many colleagues who feel the same way.
I attended Belmont Abbey College and Gardner Webb University graduating with my Masters Degree in Elementary Education in 2013.
I have worked in the field of education for 20 plus years with the last four of them as a 5th grade teacher of science. During my 20 years of experience I have worked in a Title I school with varying degrees of students.
My Project
I am requesting a variety of books relating to science and technology as well as a Microsoft Surface to use during professional development sessions. These books will be available for teachers at my school to read and use to improve their practice. Some of these books are ones that I have read in the past and others are ones that I want to read. I am very passionate about what I do and I am always looking to learn something new. I think that having a collection like this in our science and technology area will be inspiring for many of the teachers at our school.
This project is important because a motivated teacher is a great teacher.
I am even more motivated to learn more about how to improve my teaching. I am hungry for more information and need the resources to provide us with it.
