Listopia > Alliance for Education Classroom Resource Fund Book List

Every classroom should have access to high-quality resources for teachers and students. The Classroom Resource Fund can be used for a variety of projects and materials including, but not limited to books, software, calculators, math manipulatives, art supplies, audio-visual equipment, and lab materials. Access to funding for classroom resources mitigates the need for teachers to spend their own money to create an inspiring, engaging, and inclusive learning environment.

One example of what this new fund will support is providing Seattle educators with books and classroom materials that reflect, support and uplift their student’s diverse identities. The list of 50+ books is crowdsourced from local
educators and national experts, and compiled by The Alliance.

You can give to the Classroom Resource Fund today at www.alliance4ed.org/give.
