My Project

I am requesting a MacBook laptop to be able to continue the Professional development (PD) courses in the science of reading and math I am taking online. These courses are equipping me with the latest research-based strategies and methodologies, enhancing my instructional skills and ultimately improving student outcomes in my classroom.

These PD courses are providing me with a deeper understanding of the cognitive processes involved in reading and math.

This knowledge allows me to identify and address specific learning difficulties more effectively. In additon, I am learning innovative and evidence-based teaching methods that can make lessons more engaging and effective. For example, I am learning am learning and applying new ways to teach phonemic awareness in reading and problem-solving skills in math.

Students benefit from me because I will be well-versed in the latest educational research and practices. This can lead to better comprehension, higher test scores, and a more solid foundation in reading and math.

I will be able to tailor planning and instruction to meet the diverse needs of my current and future students. This personalized approach will help ensure that all students, regardless of their starting point, can achieve academic success.
