Amanda Poplawski is a fourth-grade teacher in Plains, PA. She has had 10 DonorsChoose.org projects funded for a total of more than $5,500 from 86 supporters.
DonorsChoose.org is a free website that helps teachers connect to a community of donors eager to fund classroom projects. The site’s mission is to make it easy for anyone to help a classroom in need, moving us closer to a nation where students in every community have the tools and experiences they need for a great education.
On October 26, 2015 I submitted my first project to DonorsChoose.org. I wanted to be able to show the work of students and allow students to easily see experiments being done in class. To achieve these, I knew I needed to have a document camera, so I got to work and submitted my first project. Now, about 3 months later, I have had 10 projects funded and currently have 5 projects live.
DonorsChoose.org has transformed my classroom in ways I never knew possible: It has allowed me to fulfill my dreams for the classroom and lets my students help me design our class.
Amanda’s 10 tips for teachers to get DonorsChoose.org projects funded:
