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 Students
I teach in a low-income district in Phoenix, Arizona. My students are passionate, positive, and always pushing their limits! I am very proud to be their teacher! I look forward to each day I spend with them.
We are big on character education in the classroom; from using the "Bucket Filling" teachings to community service on campus.
I believe my students are capable of anything they set their minds to. Growth is important in the classroom and my students are always setting personal goals to become their best selves.
My Project
I am a teacher that is always looking to better myself and learn through professional development books and/or trainings. I am seeking professional books and materials to become proficient at teaching reading and writing in the classroom. I am a veteran teacher, but I am always open to new ways of educating my students so that their diverse needs can be met.
The pandemic took a toll on the mental health of educators worldwide; I am also seeking literature to inspire and bring me back to my "A" game as an educator.
I feel these tools will help me teaching in a post pandemic environment.
More than half of students from low‑income households
