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 Project

Promoting social and emotional development for all students involves teaching and modeling social and emotional skills, providing/creating/contrive opportunities to practice and hone those skills, and allowing students to apply these skills in various situations.

Research indicates that SEL improves prosocial behaviors such as kindness, sharing, and empathy, improves student attitudes toward school, and reduces depression and stress among students

In addition, training and collaborating with educators to deliver explicit lessons that teach social and emotional skills, then finding opportunities for students to reinforce their use throughout the day. As well as promoting diversity and inclusion in the schools.
