This Teacher Wants to Learn in the Summer

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Barraza's classroom raised $1,988

Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

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 Project

My students are eager to learn how to read. With the shift in literacy from balanced to structured, I need more training to better support my students' reading learning.

Attending the Comprehensive Orton-Gillingham Plus training will give me the tools to help my students succeed in reading.

I want to be better equipped to help my students learn to read. With my knowledge of structured literacy, I have learned many new strategies. I want to dive into that world more to help all my students learn to read. During the summer vacation, most teachers are recovering from the school year and gearing up for the next. I want to learn worthwhile strategies that will help not only my students, but me as well. Thank you in advance for helping this teacher learn during the summer.
