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.

My Students

I am one of five high school counselors at a Title I school in East Las Vegas. We each have a caseload of nearly 500 students. We don't have a lot of time to meet with these students individually, so we're preparing classroom lessons to help teach students coping skills, stress and anxiety management, conflict resolution. Most importantly, we provide our students the opportunity to recover credits by working on credit retrieval virtually as well.

Our students have struggled with social/emotional issues more than ever during the pandemic, and we're working to teach them how to better cope with these life challenges and how to catch up academically.

I'm looking for practical items that I can begin using right away with my students both individually and in guidance lessons since I also have to work from home during some of the virtual credit retrieval opportunities we provide i.e. APEX Saturdays.

My Project

Our school’s technology is currently outdated throughout the entire campus. As counselors we need to prepare S.O.S. lessons, coping skills lessons, academic planning sessions, credit checks, and help with credit retrieval sessions. There are multiple times when we need to meet with students outside our offices or even virtually at times. Having reliable equipment will help me and other counselors connect with our students in a more efficient manner. Students will benefit from this by having us being able to provide more engaging class presentations and lessons i.e. Nearpod, Quizizz, Kahoot!, etc. Students will also benefit by being able to meet with us individually or in groups virtually since we would now have the proper equipment to do so.

More importantly, students will also benefit from this by being able to meet with us outside of our offices and discuss academic progress or credit checks remotely without having to come into the counseling office and lose instructional time by walking back and forth; this also happens during some weekends when we offer “APEX Saturdays” which is when students can work on catching up on some classes virtually and we meet with them to check on their progress as well as additional classes we may need to enroll them in on the spot.

Ultimately, having this type of equipment will help students year-round by being more connected with their counselors and reduce the loss of a lot of instructional time.
