Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

The computer requested will help me to have a reliable computer for my professional developments as a new teacher. Currently, I need to attend after school meetings once monthly, were I need to take a device. This is my second year as a new Teacher, and currently I am clearing my credential through a program called induction, where new teachers get mentorship and professional development training. Therefore, the computer requested will assist me in the meetings I need to attend to complete the work required. As a new educator, I am required to complete lesson planning at home, and document data about my students achievement for induction data purposes.
