My Project
Help Me Bring Technology to Life in Our Classroom!
As an ELA Instructional Coach and teacher who supports small groups of students each day, I rely heavily on technology to plan lessons, analyze student data, and deliver engaging instruction.
A reliable laptop will allow me to seamlessly create and organize instructional materials, access digital teaching tools, and support my students in real time.
With your support, this laptop will become a key part of our learning environment—helping me model digital literacy skills, manage virtual resources, and provide targeted support to learners who need it most. From creating interactive lessons to conducting assessments and tracking student growth, this device will ensure that I can teach effectively and efficiently every day.
Your donation will make a lasting impact on both my teaching and my students' success. Thank you for helping us grow!
