Qualtrics’ Classroom Wish List Giveaway honors
six teachers committed to creating great experiences for their
students
To celebrate 20 years serving the education industry, Qualtrics
(Nasdaq: XM), the leader and creator of the experience management
category, today announced the winners of its Classroom Wish List
Giveaway. As a special thank you to K-12 teachers who are dedicated
to providing the best possible educational experience to students,
Qualtrics is giving six winners $1,000 gift cards to pay for
classroom supplies.
Teachers spent an average of $750 of their own money on school
supplies during the 2020-2021 school year, according to non-profit
Adopt a Classroom. And nearly a third (30%) spent $1,000 or more.
The awarded gift cards will help the selected teachers manage
increased costs at a time when many teachers are already feeling
burned out from more than two years of teaching during the pandemic
and while districts are struggling to keep their schools fully
staffed.
“It’s important for schools — and society as a whole — to honor
great teachers who create a positive environment in their
classrooms and who deliver the best outcomes for our students and
the wider community,” said Byron Adams, education industry advisor
at Qualtrics. “Education is at the heart of Qualtrics as a company,
and we want to ensure teachers feel heard, valued and empowered to
serve students to the best of their abilities.”
During the past two decades, Qualtrics has expanded to serve
over 1,000 education institutions, including over half of the
largest 50 U.S. school districts, helping them regularly pulse and
listen to students, teachers and staff in order to improve both
their experiences and outcomes. These winners are among those
striving to make school a more welcoming, engaging and inspiring
place for all.
Qualtrics Classroom Wish List Giveaway Winners
James Adams — Booker T. Washington High School, Houston,
TX James teaches economics, macroeconomics and financial
literacy at a public high school in Houston. He plans to use the
awarded funds to build an engaging environment for learning - from
monopoly games, play money and candy for supply and demand games to
a class set of economics-related novels for selective reading.
Knowing what works best with his students, James hopes to
incorporate more hands-on activities like economics and financial
literacy games that involve tactile and kinesthetic learning.
Taylor Hirano — Estrella Elementary School, Los Angeles,
CA Taylor teaches multiple subjects at a public elementary
school in an underserved community in South Central LA, where her
students were extremely impacted by COVID-19. She plans to use the
money to give back to her students - supplies and prizes to
supplement teaching as well as snacks, beverages and health related
products (deodorant, lotion, chapstick, etc.) to make sure their
basic needs are met.
Rachel Kent — International Preparatory School at Grover
Cleveland, Buffalo, NY Rachel teaches Career and Technical
Education and work-based learning at a public high school in
Buffalo, where they provide a free store stocked with essentials
for students called the Good Deed Grocery. To ensure students have
a good day, every day, the awarded funds will be used to purchase
personal hygiene items needed to stock the shelves. She also plans
to host an open house to register new shoppers during the school's
spirit week.
Hailey Nielson — Art City Elementary School, Springville,
UT Hailey teaches multiple subjects with a focus on math and
reading to first graders at a public elementary school in
Springville. She would love to provide more support for social and
emotional learning, and she plans to purchase A Little SPOT of
Emotion to teach those lessons to her students. Hailey also plans
to buy math manipulatives since visual and kinesthetic learning is
crucial in first grade as well as different fidget items that help
students with calming down and focusing throughout the day.
Sarah Perez — IDEA Pflugerville Academy, Pflugerville, TX
Sarah teaches math for grades 3-5 at a public charter elementary
school in Pflugerville. She plans to spend the money on
manipulatives and tools that will help develop her students’
understanding of mathematical concepts such as fraction bars, base
ten blocks, dice, flash cards, money, visuals and tangible items.
As the math interventionist for her school, she will work with
students who need the most support with both the content and second
language acquisition, and she plans to house these items in her
classroom for other teachers to access too.
Janise Wright — KIPP Academy Chicago Primary, Chicago, IL
Janise teaches math and guided reading to minorities and students
with learning disabilities at a public charter elementary school in
Chicago. During the COVID shutdown, students missed social
emotional learning and skill building. Her classroom theme this
year is, “I love me” and she is filling the room with positive
affirmations, visuals and activities that build confidence in her
students and show them ways to build each other up. Janise plans to
use the money for affirming visuals, math materials and culturally
relevant and inclusive literature that reflects her students’
experiences.
