My Students

Our students are in high school and preparing for their adult lives! This professional development will allow us to share the latest in creativity with our students, so they can be even better prepared for their adult lives.

We want to give our students the latest tech skills!

Our students are hard working and love to learn. Their families are strong supporters of their students and our school community. Help us teach our students the latest ed tech information. The knowledge gained at this professional development will directly impact student achievement as we will be able to implement these techniques immediately.

My Project

This professional development will teach me ways to connect science (using NGSS standards) and computer science coding. This will give me more connections to real life learning and connecting our digestive systems to concepts in computer science.

Your donation will allow me to participate in a week-long virtual summer course!

This course is designed by top professionals in their fields and will also include relevant topics such as the spread of disease, ecosystems and environmental science. This PD will also give students real world modeling simulations. This professional development opportunity couldn't have arrived at a better time.
