I am scheduled to present a session on the Hero’s Journey with colleagues Paul Hankins, Glenda Funk, and Ami Szerencse at NCTE this November. It does not look like my school is going to fund my trip. Unfortunately, I am not able to afford to pay for the expenses without some help. I am asking for your help, if you feel so inclined.
Send Dana to NCTE
Here’s how you can help. If you have found an idea I’ve shared helpful or useful, or if you have downloaded handouts provided freely, and if you think helping to send me to NCTE would be a good investment for your dollar in terms of continued content, I would be grateful for your donation. If you know of a scholarship or some way that teachers can obtain assistance to travel to the conference, I would love to hear about it. I am open to any suggestions (DonorsChoose is out as I am a private school teacher).
Meanwhile, I will keep you updated regarding my progress toward reaching my funding goal. You can find this button in the future in the sidebar along with the progress toward my goal.
I've found your writing and your handouts incredibly helpful over the last few years. I would be thrilled to give something back. When I clicked on the paypal link, though, it just took me to my home page. Can you set it up to donate to you directly?
How much do you need to reach your goal?
Dana–
I can't count the number of ideas that I've gotten from your blog over the years–I've been a follower for a long time! Thanks so much. My donation isn't much, but I hope that it can help you reach NCTE.
Thanks for all the inspiration!
Jen 🙂
Thank you very much!
I reduced the amount from $1000 to $625 because family has agreed to cover airfare, but I still need to raise about $450 to cover the cost of the conference registration and my part of the hotel. I had trouble finding a good, free donation goal "thermometer" that included amounts.
