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.

My Project

Social-emotional learning (SEL) materials are essential tools that help students develop self-awareness, emotional regulation, empathy, and positive relationship skills—abilities that are just as critical as academic achievement. In today’s classrooms, students face a wide range of emotional and behavioral challenges, often exacerbated by stress, trauma, or lack of support outside of school. SEL resources provide structured opportunities for students to learn how to identify and manage their emotions, resolve conflicts, and build healthy connections with peers and adults.

By incorporating these materials into the daily classroom environment, we create a space where students feel safe, seen, and supported.

These tools foster a positive classroom culture, reduce behavioral issues, and improve focus and academic outcomes. Ultimately, investing in SEL is an investment in the whole child—nurturing not just better students, but more compassionate, resilient, and confident individuals.
