My Project

As a Behavioral Specialist and Restorative Justice Coach at a Title I school, my role is centered on supporting the holistic well-being of students, staff, and families. The professional development certification in mindfulness, social-emotional learning, and yoga will provide evidence-based tools and practices that are directly aligned with our school's mission to create a safe, inclusive, and supportive learning environment for students and staff. This certification plus the light covers, lamp, and stickers will enhance my ability to Promote Emotional Regulation and Mental Health, Strengthen Restorative Justice Practices, Empower and Support Staff, Engage Families and Build Community.
