Funding Amount Requested: $1,200

Project Description:
As a ProStart educator, I am starting up a brand new program here at Roosevelt High School. I am super excited to do so, but have found great benefit in attending the ProStart Professional Development Summer Institute. The programs build upon each other, and I would feel fortunate to learn more to become an even better instructor to my students as I build this program.

Impact:
This professional development opportunity will help me grow as an educator and ensure that I can effectively teach and support my students in our new ProStart program. The knowledge gained will improve the quality of the program, benefiting current and future students as they explore culinary arts and prepare for careers in the industry.

Use of Funds:
The requested $1,200 will be used to cover the cost of the flight ($400) and registration ($800) for the ProStart Professional Development Summer Institute. This opportunity is crucial for enhancing my skills as an educator while building the program.
