My Students
My students come from very diverse backgrounds and always seek ways to connect culturally with other students.
I am a fourth-year teacher in a large school district in North Carolina.
I was voted First Year Teacher of the Year and have always tried to live up to that recommendation. I teach second grade curriculum to twenty-five wonderful students. I have my Masters Degree in Elementary Education with a concentration in Special Education. I am always looking for professional development that will help make an impact on my students.
My Project
I am requesting a full day of professional development at the Ron Clark Academy in Atlanta, Georgia. I am seeking development to help increase student engagement through higher order questioning. I am also interested in learning more on the following topics:
• Teaching creatively while achieving high standardized tests
• Implementing games that promote student engagement
• Promoting academic rigor while meeting the needs of all learners
This professional development will impact my classroom and students in many different ways.
It will help to create a climate and culture that promotes student success. My students come from very diverse backgrounds and this training will prepare me to help my students create connections with their classmates.
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
