Students will use an iPad, online websites, and the Internet to connect to the real world. By using technology, I can deliver a stronger instructional foundation that captures students interest. As a result, my students will interact and explore common core curriculum topics involving science, technology, engineering, and mathematics activities. This approach will lead to deeper knowledge, better connected learning, and more applicable to subsequent learning, and further students life careers. Students will be exposed to numerous careers choices, in hope that they can develop interests and in their future, pursue professions that involve science, technology, engineering, or math careers. This innovative approach will aid and assist students as they research non-fictional topics, be exposed to guest speakers, and role-play different career paths in which they are interested in. It is vital that students achieve success, so that they are prepared for success in college, career, and life.

Recycling Rocks!
WINGATE OAKS CENTER
This project is all about reusing, repurposing and beautifying our school and community. As a winner of the P3 Challenge last May the environment is very important to me. I am a true steward of my environment and so are my students. I focus my classroom activities on reducing our carbon footprint and repurposing what we already have. At the same time I am teaching my students about their community and giving back. My students and I will reuse and repurpose old tires, stepping stones, bottles, fabric and food grade drums to make a positive impact on our community. Beautiful planters, mosaic stepping stones, floral arrangements, animal bandanas, and unbelievable rain barrels are products that will result from this recycling initiative.

Hands on Science
SILVER SHORES ELEMENTARY
Pre-school children are ready to learn about the everyday world. Young children are highly engaged when they have the opportunity to explore. They create strong and enduring mental representations of what they have experienced in investigating the everyday world. They readily acquire vocabulary to describe and share these mental representations and the concepts that evolve from them. Science gives the students a hands-on learning approach with literacy components. This also incorporates parental involvement and support. When parents get involved in a preschoolers education, they get a better sense of what goes on in the program. The science experiments will be done at school and then recreated at home. The students will be given a packet to take home with the instructions for the parents to duplicate the science experiment.

Can't Stop E-Reading!
CYPRESS ELEMENTARY
Cypress Elementary is a Title 1 school. The students in my class come from a low socioeconomic background and often do not have the same opportunities that many other first graders in our district would have. Our current Benchmark Achievement Test 2 scores (indicator of how theyll do on FCAT) shows that less than 50% of our students are proficient in reading. The data for the students in my class show that more than 50% (out of 18 students) score below 70% on their weekly unit tests (Journeys Reading Series) in comprehension and vocabulary. Many score a low probably rate of reading success on the FAIR test. With the implementation of Common Core Standards, my students need to be proficient in reading and comprehending rigorous text, and to be able to perform complex tasks. Using the Kindle E-Reader will give the students access to rigorous texts, periodicals, multimedia, and other types of informational texts all on one device. Obtaining the literature required to meet all my students interests and needs is challenging. The Kindle E Reader, will give me developmentally to pair appropriate text with highly effective instruction, thus increasing students reading fluency, comprehension, and improve their learning and increase their test scores.

Poetry in Motion
TROPICAL ELEMENTARY
My goal is to increase my students� literacy skills, improve parent participation in my classroom, and promote student centered learning so the students can take leadership roles in their educational journey through poetry. A young learner�s passion for reading develops through constant exposure and opportunities to read and experience a world of words and illustrations that fosters imagination, creativity, and drama, and music while reinforcing my first grade objectives. Through poetry, young readers are given the opportunity to develop a love for literacy, become fluent readers by enhancing their decoding skills and using visual cues to gain a better understanding and comprehension of literacy. As students read and reread poems several times during the week they are able to strengthen vocabulary, oral language, decoding, fluency, and comprehension skills. It is important to expose young readers to a variety of genres that can foster a love of reading and in return help to support young writers. Students at this young stage of development benefit greatly from reading poems daily and as a result they can be given the opportunity to enhance their over all level of literacy development.

Brain Training for Collaborative Practices
Mintz Elementary School
First, my goal this year is to roll out what we call “Socratic Seminars” to kindergarten through 5th Grade. This is a teaching strategy through AVID that provides students with enriching text to have conversations and build reasoning skills to help them become successful in the coming years. The lessons I’m building have to do with students understanding the most important tool they own, Their brain and the different brain states. In the first weeks of school, we will investigate the importance of “how we create various connections”. We will explore activities that show how we need to take in information by seeing, saying and doing tasks that are going to build neuroplasticity and axion connectivity (these are adult terms, depending on grade-level different terms will be used). This includes collaborative discussions, team activities to develop listening, analyzation and reasoning skills.
This is when the splitters come more into play. The splitters will allow the students to listen to one device between the students. One computer muted the other they are listening on together. However, they both have the text in front of them. During these activities the teacher will have an essential question or lesson goal that the students must be accomplishing- As we are an AVID elementary school this could include the use of graphic organizers, question stems or project creations using the WICOR structures (Writing, Inquiry, Collaboration, Organization and Reading) skills obtainment structure. During this time teachers can be monitoring students and providing targeted supports and feedback to assist the learning groups. The two port slitters allow for scaffolding, ELL support opportunities and putting the dialogue onto the students while allowing the teacher to monitor engagement, output and needs. The five port splitters can be used in rotational groups while the teacher is pulling targeted learning small groups addressing standards weakness.
These little tech helpers will increase vocabulary, building student connections, increase teamwork/ conversational skills and overall increase of student ownership and engagement.

Prevent the burnout in Literacy teachers
East Bay Senior High School
Waking up and immediately thinking, “ah, I don’t want to go to work” is a horrible feeling. Unfortunately, it’s a thought that has occurred to numerous teachers. Burnout is real and of course, it negatively affects student achievement.
As a high school Intensive Reading teacher at East Bay, I have seen many teachers come and go due to being burned out or becoming disillusioned with the profession. According to author Jessica Mayes, she states “Educator burnout is a prevalent global issue adversely affecting productivity and contributing to elevated turnover rates, depression, and diminished personal accomplishments.” (Mayes, 2024)
Our goal is to stop the burn out before it begins. East Bay aims to attract and keep phenomenal literacy teachers happy and burnout free. According to the article, The Relationship between Selected Faculty Characteristics and Teacher Burnout: A Cross-Sectional Survey of Faculty Teaching in Grades 9 to 12 at A Comprehensive Public High School in California, it states “the educational system can enhance its support for teachers in mitigating burnout by employing innovative practices, such as the implementation of strategies aimed at securing administrative support, attending to emotional well-being, and fostering a positive school culture.” (Mayes, 2024)
Everyone wants to feel appreciated so I'm requesting a donation of $458.91 to use for teacher incentives, such as note cards, luncheons, small gifts, raffles, and snacks to enjoy during bi-monthly PLC's, and weekly collaborative lesson planning sessions, etc.
Let's give the Literacy teachers at East Bay High School something to be excited about and a reason to smile! While East Bay’s Literacy department does receive a small sum of funds, the money is solely for student incentives. With this donation, we can focus on elevating teachers so they can in turn elevate their students to the highest potential. This project will impact 24 teachers in the literacy department.

This data helps me decide if an intervention and/or strategy is working or not.

When words are not enough
Pierce Middle School
I teach STEM (robotics) in a Title I middle school where 25% of our students are monolingual in Spanish and labeled English Language Learner (ELL). With 1 of every 4 students struggling with language acquisition and retaining science vocabulary, it can be challenging to master robotics. The goal of this grant is to introduce vocabulary through easy to digest graphic novels that promote STEM vocabulary and encourage reading for pleasure. An example is The Robo-battle of Mega Tortoise vs. Hazard Hare which retells Aesop's fable using robots. This grant would buy two of each book, one for the media center and one for the classroom library. If students finish their work early, they can grab a book in the classroom to read, but if they want to take it home, they can check out a copy at the media center.

Students will earn points for positive behavior. They will be able to redeem their points for snacks, prizes, and incentives (like a pizza party). Last year, my students had a total of 51 behavior incidents recorded in Behavior Tracker on Edconnect. These behavior incidents are severe behaviors that are documented. I would like to increase positive student behavior with my students with disabilities so that students learn appropriate positive replacement behaviors. These replacement behaviors will decrease the minor behaviors that lead to severe behaviors. Less minor negative behaviors will reduce the more serious behavior incidents that are entered into Behavior Tracker.
