How I Would Support Your Efforts In Building Social Change In Schools

Change is every day and has become the law of life. Changes in society are constant and always taking place. Sometimes it is so slow that people do not even notice it or so rapid and drastic. With economics, political and education fields are changing daily. Moreover, the majority of change comes through education. It comes down to teachers who make the most successful difference in culture and society.

Today’s schools are facing complex and difficult challenges. Our classrooms have many children with diverse needs, from active and healthy to those who have emotional, learning, or physical problems.

Within this program, I would like to have a mobile library so the children can pick out books that they can read when I am not there. Another goal has to do with technology. I would like to provide workshops and computer programs to help parents help their children. The studios would include help with the internet, programs, and activities that will help their readers be lucky.
