About the Education Foundation

The Pasadena ISD Education Foundation is a nonprofit 501 (c) (3) organization, which raises money to fund mini-grants of up to $5000 for district educators’ classroom ideas or campus programs. These learning projects would likely not be funded by the regular school budget.

The mission of the Pasadena ISD Education Foundation is to enhance the quality of educational services to promote an exemplary educational system.

The Foundation will collaborate with the community to reward innovative teaching, promote educational excellence, provide educational and leadership opportunities to students and to recognize the teachers and staff of Pasadena Independent School District.

Lights, Camera, and Pose! - This will be my second year teaching and my classes more than doubled in size in just one year! With that also comes the need for more cameras and other equipment. Commercial Photography is the course name, but I try and teach my students more than that! Yes we cover the commercial side of photography, but we also learn a bit of color theory, camera knowledge & basics, posing, lighting and we now get to explore how a studio is used (I re-purposed a room to a full studio) with a bit of basic editing and Photoshop fun.

Mental Health Matters - School based mental health plays a crucial role in providing a safe and supportive environment to students and families.

Research shows that social emotional learning (SEL) improves achievement, increases prosocial behavior (such as kindness and empathy), improves student attitudes towards school, and reduces depression and stress among students. Promoting social and emotional development for students at school involves teaching, modeling, and giving students an opportunity to apply these skills in various situations. Our school needs a variety of counseling tools that will assist in providing the basis for the mental health needs and wellness of our students.

Mission: Motivate Mathematician - Math workstations are part of our daily routine to address the needs of all learners. We need to update our games to keep our mathematicians motivated and engaged. As teachers work with a small group of students the rest of the students are in workstations. Math games provide students the opportunity to practice meaningful skills they have learned. When students work in groups playing math games they are leaning much more than just math concepts. Math games are hands on, engaging, help develop conceptual understanding, problem solving skills, reasoning, communication skills, and improve attitudes about math by making it fun.
