Masters in Education

Hi everyone!

Kathy from 360 Education Solutions sent this interesting contribution. I will quote Kathy for a description she sent me about her website.

“We work directly with public school districts nation-wide to help empower teachers to reach their full potential and increase student achievement in the classroom.”

Thanks Kathy!

 

Help Needed

This is a humble petition. I’m just posting this in order to reach as many american teachers as possible.

This year I started working at a public school in Valparaíso,Chile. As you may know,I am a teacher of English,and I try day after day to ncourage kids and young students to learn English and try to be exposed toEnglish as much as they can.

We have a great lack of resources,we have a library,but the English section only consists on a few books and 1 book for kids- this is the one that kids like th most. It is so sad for me as a teacher,to know how my students are so happy with only one book in english. I just want to make a simple petition and see if this dream I have is possible. I am just trying to see if I can get help from teachers in America. The idea is to ask you to send me old books,books that are very worn out (I can fix them or repair them if they have some details). I want to try to have a library in english for them. Our school has only 600 students but the library has 3 dictionaries for the whole school. I have also written to our ministers and even our President to ask for help. Now I’m leaving this petition on my blog with the hope of getting a little help from all the teachers out there. So please if you wish to help me build this dream,just send an e-mail letting me know this. carolinapherrera@gmail.com

With love and lots of faith,

Miss Carolina.
