My students need a projector so they can see the lesson content digitally.
FULLY FUNDED! Mr. Davis's classroom raised $413
This project is fully funded
My Students
Every time you walk past a classroom you may notice that it's dark with students inside. If you've wondered why then you are a technological dinosaur. My school has not yet been able to fund the infusion of Smartboards or projectors for every teacher.
My students are urban youth in Pennsylvania.
They have a true thirst, and desire for learning! As a whole they have met the state minimums on standardized testing for the past 7 years. Throughout the student body we have varying degrees of learners from below basic to gifted students.
My Project
If you decide to fund this projector, I will be able to teach to all learning styles. Some students learn by seeing, others learn by hands on, and some learn by hearing. This technology makes it possible to address all three styles simultaneously. For example, I will be able to show videos to help students better understand figurative language (simile, metaphors, etc.).
Please know that your donation will help urban scholars keep pace with their counterparts in more affluent districts.
If you are interested in helping close the achievement gap in a urban school district, your donation goes directly to helping urban scholars one class at a time.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
