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

I want to be a better teacher for my students than ever before. Last year, I lost my mojo. This summer, I've regained it and more determined than ever. With your help, these professional development books and resources will benefit my ELA, writing, math, and science instruction.

Please give me professional development books and resources so that my instruction and engagement will improve!

I've selected updated PD books and resources that will have an instant impact on my instruction this year! With your help, and with some time to read the PD books, this will be my best year of teaching yet!
