Utilizing the crowd-funding site, DonorsChoose.org, the State of Oklahoma awarded up to $1,000 in Federal COVID Relief funding to Oklahoma classroom teachers’ projects requesting resources to support students in response to COVID-19. Oklahoma educators in grades PK-12th grade were encouraged to create a project to request classroom resources, such as supplies, technology, and instructional materials to support students’ social, emotional, and mental well-being as well as the impacts of interrupted academic learning as a result of COVID-19.
