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

As a teacher it is important to stay up-to-date with the latest educational theories and methodologies. I am in my second year of teaching and there is a lot I still have to learn. I would like to use these textbooks to help me better understand the Common Core standards, how to have a better sense of classroom management, and how to efficiently plan out my lessons.

These textbooks will help me grow and be better equipped to meet the diverse needs of my students.

Being a teacher means I will be need to continuously grow and learn new things. My goal is to grow as much as possible in order to provide lessons that are engaging and inclusive for all my students.
