One of our PLC members – Brian Peck – living in a deeply stressed American town, Detroit, with no classroom budget to speak of, wants some financial help in getting the things he needs to fully put into practice in his classroom some of the things he learned this summer.
My position is that it shouldn’t all be about suburban white kids, so open up your wallets here. A dollar donated by each of us would do it. Those of us who had the good fortune to meet Brian this summer and watch him teach know exactly what I mean when I say that this would be money well spent.
So whatever we care to invest here will be as icing on the cake of a truly gifted CI teacher. I’m in at the twenty-five dollar levels right now and yes I’m trying to make you feel guilty so go contribute a few bucks right now before this post scrolls out in the flood of posts that are happening here as we crank up another year in the service of children:
Hi Ben,
I’m trying to get an iPad for an interactive whiteboard app, a laser pointer, shower curtains for maps, and a bunch of other props and things for my stories. People can double their donations until Thursday with the promo code INSPIRE.

I got a lot of ideas from the TPRS conferences especially from the times in the war rooms. Thanks again for facilitating those and I can’t wait to get back with my kids to start the process and create the community you have all worked so hard to help me create.
Peace,
Brian
