Hi Friends!
Each year, North Texas Giving day is one of the biggest single days of fundraising for the organization that I work for, Education Opens Doors. EOD implements a college and career readiness program in middle schools across North Texas and beyond. We've just celebrated our 10th anniversary last year with over 80,000 students served - all because of supporters like you. Anything you can contribute would so greatly appreciated, as we look to expand our work this year to serve even more teachers and students. THANK YOU ALL for supporting me and my organization.
Here's some more about EOD and our upcoming HUGE year:
For the 23-24 school year, EOD’s program will provide 12,500 students with 1,200 additional minutes of active college planning and career preparation discussion across 1 academic year. Our school-based program is refreshed annually and available online through a digital learning management system, TEKS-aligned, student centered, culturally responsive and inclusive. The curriculum is designed to be implemented in-class to promote active learning and group discussion around every student's diverse selection of postsecondary path options - going beyond 4-year colleges to include discussions of vocational/technical schools, entering the workforce, etc. Specific curriculum topics include academic preparation, high school choice, college affordability, and more - all of which are not traditionally taught in classes during the school day. Interactive activities and lessons focus on course selection, professionalism, time management and how to build character for life beyond graduation day.
Teacher Testimonials:
“I believe that the EOD Program adds value to learning. Students are being informed on what to expect when going to high school and how grades, ranks, money management, etc. have an effect on their future.”
“The EOD Program's curriculum is well-rounded and allows space for critical thinking, research, presentation/public speaking skills and the list can go on. Not only are the student skills being strengthened but they also get to participate in lesson plans that benefit them personally, both as a student and an individual. With that material, there can never be a learning loss so thank you to EOD for providing that.”
“The program is so well thought out and easy to deliver. I also love the fact that I can potentially pass it off to another staff member and know all of the content is there.”
