Goal

My goal is to help 9th and 10th grade students perform at/above grade level on statewide assessments, as well as help our 11th and 12th grade students with more remediation in the same areas. Some statewide assessments are required for graduation, and my goal is to have every student soar across the stage at graduation.  

What will be done with my students

Budgeted items will be used to aid in small group work within the classroom. I will be working with my students in groups for statewide assessment areas, to include US History, Geometry, Algebra 1, English/Reading, and Biology. Items will also be used in helping students find their post-secondary education goals, understand what they want to do after high school, and help students stay on track to reach their goals.  

Benefits to my Students

This project will be linked to increases in learning gains, reaching proficiency, meeting graduation requirements, and being prepared for life after high school. The improvement of knowledge in varying areas will directly relate to the supplies by providing the means to complete work in class, for example, cardstock is used for adding to transition portfolios, creating employment dream sheets, and creating educational dream sheets. Pencils and easels are used to aid in small group work.  

Budget Narrative

Our exceptional student education program works with students with special needs. There is a large gap between the academic growth of low performing students and grade-level performing students. Our exceptional students need more assistance with remediation and reteaching of all subjects, as well as guidance through the “what if’s” of their future. Creating portfolios for our students to help them organize and document their progress. This grant would help students by providing classroom supplies for small groups in the high school setting. Binders are used for containing student portfolios throughout the years for 9th through 12th grade. These binders carry over with students in each grade level. For projects and everyday assignments, students utilize pencils, pens, markers, colored pencils, erasers, and a paper cutter. When personally editing assignments, such as rough drafts of essays, students use blue and red ink pens. Cardstock is used for projects for students, which may include projects around vocabulary, career readiness, post-secondary education goals, and other educational projects. Lined easel pads and a white board are used when pulling small groups to one side of the room, to include groups for English, math, science, history, and some elective courses where students need assistance. My classroom does not currently have a white board, so a rolling white board would make small groups easier, as I would be able to put information on the digital board for one group of students and work with another group on the whiteboard. These supplies will impact student scores on statewide testing, grades in classes, and opportunities to research college, careers, and other pathways to success.
