New Year, New School

The Description

This year, I'm changing locations! After my last Cesar Chavez campus unexpectedly closed at the end of last year, I am moving down the street to a DC public bilingual immersion school called Columbia Heights Education Campus (CHEC). With these funds I will purchase manipulatives, organization materials, and reading leveled, high interest novels for my special education students in 6th, 7th, and 8th grade. Any and all contributions are appreciated, $1 goes a long way! In fact, EmpowerK12 has recognized CHEC as 1 of 13 schools serving high proportions of at-risk students and at-risk students with disabilities where academic growth exceeds growth among not at-risk students without disabilities at DC’s lowest poverty schools. Help me continue the progress, thank you <3

Back Up Plan

If we do not reach our goal I will have to wait for my first paycheck to purchase any classroom materials, books, and stress-relieving gidgets for my new students. We get 0 funding for these things from the school itself.

About the Creator

I am excited to be a part of the TFA family and join the movement to solve education inequity in this country and provide all students with a quality education. I'm fortunate enough to be selected from a nationwide talent applicant pool to join a teacher corps comprised of leaders who commit a minimum of two years to teach in high need public schools. This summer I will be participating in an intensive skill and knowledge development program aiming to increase student achievement as well as a comprehensive professional development program including seminars, discussion groups, workshops, and content and professional learning communities specific to teaching license areas. I can't wait for my first year with Teach for America.
