  • Take 2! More Intro. To Business Books For My Students!

    Funded Oct 22, 2010

    My students are enthusiastically using the classroom materials you generously provided. The Introduction to Business textbooks have been a welcome addition to our classroom community! My students are juniors and seniors, and will be entering college and the workforce with additional information as part of their educational resources.

    Many of my students take an interest in politics and the economy. They may have had a basic exposure to economic and business-related concepts. However, with the presence and use of these textbooks in the classroom, they are expanding their knowledge on a daily basis. It is quite exciting for me to be a witness to it! My day is made brighter when I experience their enthusiasm about a topic which is important to me.

    My hope is that you, the donors, realize what an important part you continue to have in this process of learning. Your participation only started with your donation. Your impact on my students, both present and future, will continue to be important.

    Thank you for everything that you did to help turn my dream into reality!”

    With gratitude,

    Mrs. Cohen

"Be the change you want to see in the world." (Gandhi) When teaching a unit on civil disobedience to my students, this quote really grabbed their attention. We discussed the quote, and also discussed Thoreau's influence on both Gandhi and Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. My students continue to apply this quote to their lives, both inside and outside of the school. I teach by example, and strive to bring the "real world" into the classroom by making connections between the classroom topics and the outside world. It has proven to be a successful strategy and one the students appreciate.
