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 Project

Summer is a perfect time to continue learning and growing as an educator. Lead4ward, a trusted organization, will be providing virtual professional development for teachers interested in learning more on a variety of topics.

I am requesting 2 3-hour virtual sessions that will be conducted on July 30, 2025.

The first session, "STAAR4ward for Literacy", will center around analyzing released test items and item types of the STAAR test and using that data to strengthen Tier 1 instruction. Through purposeful and organized activities, we will explore the impact of STAAR and identify our key priorities for delivering effective literacy instruction that promotes student growth, critical thinking, and active engagement.

The second session, "Thinking Trails: the write STAARt in Literacy", will help teachers implement strategies to show how we can use writing as a tool to help students connect more deeply with the texts they read.

I feel these two sessions will help me prepare to be a better teacher for the upcoming 2025-2026 school year.
