These textbooks cover key subjects like math, science, social studies, and language arts, with a focus on real-world applications. The posters serve as visual aids, reinforcing important concepts such as grammar rules, mathematical formulas, and reading strategies. These resources make learning more structured and engaging, helping students build confidence as they work toward their GED.\r\n Reading in our classroom is now more interactive and student-centered. We use a combination of silent reading, group discussions, and guided instruction to help students engage with the material. The new textbooks provide structured lessons with practice exercises, while the posters serve as quick references that students can use during their studies. Some students benefit from reading aloud and discussing ideas in small groups, while others prefer working independently with the support of guided reading questions. This variety ensures that every student can find a learning method that works best for them.\r\n Several students have shown a newfound enthusiasm for learning with these materials. One student, who previously found reading intimidating, has gained confidence by using the textbook's step-by-step breakdowns. Another student enjoys the social studies section, as it connects historical events to present-day issues, making learning more meaningful. With these new resources, students are not only improving their academic skills but also developing a greater appreciation for learning as they work toward earning their GED.","fullyFundedDate":1734622685700,"projectUrl":"project/now-you-can-answer-the-infamous-question/8753032/","projectTitle":"Now You Can Answer the Infamous Question, Why?","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Haverfield","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-5_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/4025649"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_43020","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":1500,"numTeachers":null,"percentFrplEligible":53,"percentAsian":3,"percentBlack":18,"percentWhite":48,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":19,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"9 - 12","studentTeacherRatio":null,"demographicsDataSource":"MDR District Record","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":null},"inStateSupporters":null,"schoolId":43020,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Pinellas Technical College - St Petersburg Campus on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Pinellas Technical College - St Petersburg Campus","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/florida/pinellas-county-schools/ptec-st-petersburg-campus/43020"}
