My Project

We all need a little help sometimes. Some students don't know when they might need a little extra support or how to get it. My goals for my project is to give students that may need just a little extra some support "on the DL." I want them to inconspicuously receive support they may need without being made to feel different. By giving all the students the same tools they may or may not need will help all students be a little more successful. By adding to their "toolkit" so they can pull out the tools they need, when they need it will help them become aware of their needs.
