Hello everyone!
After a wonderful trip to Guatemala last summer, I've decided to dive in and embark on another memorable adventure with INGAGE Unlimited. This summer I will be traveling to the Dominican Republic with another group of talented teachers. We will be preparing and presenting professional development workshops for teachers who work with students from a school located in an area of extreme need. In preparation of our trip we will be reading Eric Jensen's book, Teaching with Poverty in Mind, to help us to better prepare lessons that will meet both the student and teacher needs.
I look forward to...
-working with the teachers in the Dominican Republic so that I
gain understanding of the challenges they face,
-learning from every teacher with whom I have the opportunity to
work,
-building lasting friendships with teachers both from the
Chicago area and the DR,
-experiencing the culture and history of the Domincan
Republic,
-finding ways that I can bring this experience back to my
classroom.
Our team has begun fundraising and I am wondering if you would like to be a part of this effort to help our team raise these funds? Each team member has been asked to raise $2,700 to cover the expenses for this serving opportunity. Because this is a volunteer service trip facilitatied by the non-profit organization INGAGE Unlimited, all donations are tax deductible and can be made online here.
Please email me if you have any questions!
Thank you!
Julie
