Teacher Support

Here are suggestions on how to support your partner school's teachers and staff:

  • Sponsor a teacher from your partner school to attend your college or university's summer teaching program.

  • Help teachers with classroom setup: repaint classroom, create bulletin boards and decorations at the end of the summer.

  • Invite your school's principal or faculty to other alumni club events (e.g. professor lectures).

  • Be a computer coach for teachers.

  • Sponsor a breakfast or lunch for one of the school's professional development days.

  • Help with grant-writing.

  • Provide your school's administration with technology planning, program marketing materials and other needs.

  • Assist high school guidance counselors with college-related activities, including the application process and financial aid forms.

  • Invite your partner school's principal, faculty or counselors to your workplace for exposure to your business or organization.

  • Use the Donors Choose website to help fund teachers' proposals at your partner school.
