My Project

My project supports diversity leaders and their work for all students. I am a district employee that supports over 1000 students in 3 buildings and would love a few items to be able to work more efficiently. I love that our students come from many different walks. I love working with admin and teachers to find new ways of teaching, assessing and reaching students.

Students of various backgrounds and demographics walk through our doors, and I want to be as prepared as I can to be able to fully support them.

My project (candy, posters, window tinting, etc.) also creates a welcoming environment for all students when they come needing support from me in my office.
