My Project

At our school, we are dedicated to empowering students through high-quality instruction and access to meaningful learning tools. As a Technology and English Coach who also teaches, I support both students and teachers by integrating digital tools into literacy instruction, designing engaging lessons, and modeling best practices across classrooms. A reliable laptop is essential to my work—whether I’m planning lessons, teaching small groups, analyzing student progress, or coaching teachers to implement innovative strategies. Currently, our technology is limited, and a dependable laptop would greatly enhance my ability to teach effectively and support school-wide instructional goals.

Your generous support will help me provide dynamic, technology-rich instruction to students while also collaborating with teachers to elevate classroom learning.

This laptop will allow me to create multimedia resources, lead professional development, co-teach lessons, and respond quickly to both student and teacher needs. With your help, I can continue to build a learning environment where students are engaged, teachers are supported, and technology becomes a bridge to deeper understanding. Thank you for considering this investment in our students' success.
