Summary I learned several things while doing this research that will affect the way I will conduct my senior project and teach in the future. I learned about the many different styles of learning that students have and how to deal with them, and how to use my strengths and teaching style to best suit these children. I learned how to use their commonalities to help them better learn material. I also learned that while running a charity, I need to clearly state my mission and my plan for aching that goal. If I do that, people will be more likely to donate to my charity.

This article taught me what people want to see while looking for a charity to donate to.

People don't always trust charities with their money, so you need to prove to them that your organization is trustworthy. You can do this by clearly stating your charity's goal. They want to know exactly what their money is being used for. Also, they want to know, in full detail, how you are going to achieve this goal. The more specific, the better. Dunn, R., & Dunn, K.

This article says that most teachers can respond to differences in student learning styles and

can better their teacher styles from it. This article defines the different learning styles and different group activities that can allow for learning. And gives information on how teachers can adapt to different learning styles. GEEF program gives $11,500 worth of school supplies to needy kids. (2012, September 05). Aegis, The (Bel Air, MD).

This article showed how a school supply charity became so successful. I learned that when

you partner with business and churches, and have them collect school supplies, you reach more people. This is because everyone that works for that business or attends that church is hearing about your charity, and wants to help, but otherwise, may not have heard about your charity. Also having people and business that endorse your charity makes people more likely to trust your charity and donate to it. Gooding, J., & Metz, B. (2012). Collaborating For Communication.

This article taught me that a lot of very successful charities focus on one type of school

supply. For example, Operation Backpack is very reputable and it only collects and donates backpacks. People know exactly what to donate, so it is easier for them. With a school supply charity that donates all kinds of supplies, they don't know what you want/need and feel overwhelmed with deciding what to donate, and ultimately decided not to. Saporito, B.

that are donated is to use them in the most effective way possible. And meeting as many needs as I can with that money/supplies.
