My Project

As a school social worker, I meet with students in different grade levels and different modalities (whole class, small groups, individually, after-school program, etc). Additionally, I contribute to IEPs and other assessment reports for students in my school.

Therefore, an updated laptop is a necessary tool for many reasons including: counseling program and instructional preparation, professional development (webinars and online trainings), curriculum development, a direct tool for students, and more!

This laptop will also help me provide visuals for my diverse learners through videos, presentations, Google Slides, and engaging learning websites such as Leader In Me/The 7 Habits. Additionally, this laptop will help me to effectively communicate and coordinate care with the families I serve and community resources as well. This laptop is essential to help me efficiently plan, organize, and differentiate instruction for all of my different learners!
