My Students
My students are amazing and are ready to start a successful school year. My talented students are doing their best to overcome both their academic and/or social-emotional challenges. The students at my high school come from diverse backgrounds, many represent low socioeconomic statuses, and reside in an urban area. When they are at the point where they doubt that they can not overcome a challenge or find a solution to a problem, it is then that I remind them that they are not alone and we are here for them.
My Project
With the start of the new 2021-2022 school year and in-person learning, we as educators are aware that there will be significant social-emotional needs that will need to be addressed. The materials for my project: Accentuating the Positive were carefully selected to help my students conquer negative thinking, embrace wellness, and learn the importance of self-care. Students will utilize journals, positive affirmations cards, and learn methods for stress reduction.
As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, I have researched the evidence that the utilization of positive affirmations and self-care promotes better health and mental well-being.
A teenager's life can be hectic and stressful. Between homework, tests, and the navigation of social circles and relationships, all of this can negatively impact their mental health. For self-care and positive affirmation techniques to be effective, it is important to embrace them fully and to understand why they are important. Self-care requires regular practice if you want to make lasting, long-term changes to the ways that you think and feel. It is my goal to help ensure that my students heal socially and emotionally from the past year.
More than three‑quarters of students from low‑income households
