According to the description, \"This course highlights major legal issues affecting teachers and administrators. \" I learned so much in this class. For instance, we learned about the court cases and battles that led to compulsory attendance and education for children with disabilities. In particular, I focused on the Individual with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA), 2004. My research taught me that IDEA is a reiteration of the Education for All Handicapped Children Act from 1975. Learning about these laws allowed me to be a more informed and empathetic teacher. Thank you for increasing my knowledge base.","fullyFundedDate":1746614723018,"projectUrl":"project/legal-issues-in-education/9288882/","projectTitle":"Legal Issues in Education","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Fuller","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp2172666_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1466446231612","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/ms-wilsonhoustonelementary"},{"teacherId":9647899,"projectId":9538316,"letterContent":"I want to express my heartfelt gratitude for your generous donations to our classroom. Thanks to your kindness, our students are surrounded by the tools and materials they need to learn, grow, and feel excited about school each day. From the dry erase markers that keep our lessons interactive to the pencils that help every student participate confidently, your support has made a real difference in how our classroom runs. It's incredible how these everyday supplies make learning smoother, more engaging, and more joyful.\r\n\r\nThe games and social-emotional resources you provided have been especially impactful. We use them daily to help students build teamwork, communication, and emotional awareness—skills that matter just as much as reading or math. Whether it's playing a quick game to build cooperation or taking a mindful moment with one of our calming tools, your contributions are helping students feel safe, supported, and ready to learn.\r\n\r\nYou've also helped make our classroom a warm and welcoming space with the beautiful decorations you sent. The walls now reflect the creativity and positivity of the students who fill the room, and it's truly changed the atmosphere. Every day, I see students' faces light up when they walk in and feel that this is a place where they belong.
