Mr. Walter's Classroom

The Description

After completing Teach for America’s - 2018 Houston Institute I will be responsible for my very own classroom! One of the biggest hurdles that students in high need schools face is a lack of the necessary materials that are needed daily. It makes it infinitely more difficult for students to learn and take part in activities and classwork when they do not have even the most basic supplies.

To get the year started off right, I will use the funds that I raise here to purchase the startup supplies needed to welcome my students to a classroom that is clean and stocked full of materials. This will allow me to provide the required supplies to students that otherwise would not have them. I will also purchase copy paper to ensure that I can provide my students with high-quality learning materials, whether that is exit tickets, independent activities, or homework. Thank you so much in advance for supporting me and my students at the beginning of this exciting journey.

Every dollar I receive will be put towards classroom supplies so anything you can contribute really will make a difference for my first year. Here is a complete list of the materials that your generous investment will help provide for the students of my very first classroom:

Back Up Plan

If we do not reach our goal I will cover the remaining balance from my own pocket and unfortunately, require many of my students to purchase their own materials.

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.
