Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

Having been a classroom teacher for over a decade, I've realized that the number one reason why a student might be having trouble in school is the lack of inner motivation and a lack of social skills. This puts many students in a disadvantaged position, both in my classrooms and later in life. I wish the best for my 6th graders, but I would like them to leave my class with the love of learning.

Every year, in our state of California, more than 100,000 students fail to graduate from high school. Even though my students are only 6th graders, I need to begin discussions with them about their future. My students need help bridging the gap between school and the real world. They need to become motivated students, so they move in the positive direction of civility, culture, and character.

I want to introduce my students to "The 8 Keys of Excellence, Principles To Live By". It is a Quantum Learning methodology that has been proven to increase academic achievement and improve students' attitudes toward the learning process. It is a program that can help students gain the skills and motivation to contribute to creating an academically and socially successful school community.

As President Obama recently stated, "Dropping out of high school is no longer an option. It's not just quitting on yourself, it's quitting on your country -- and this country needs and values the talents of every American." Together, we can contribute to boosting our graduation rates and reap the benefits of an educated society.
