My Students

I am a social worker in a Title 1 school with a diverse student population. Many of our students are English language learners and first generation citizens. Our district is one of the largest in the state with schools ranging in low to very high socio economic households.

Resilence, perservence and strong potential; our students are eager to learn the social emotional skills needed to continue to be successful.

Teaching mindfulness and coping skills gives them the tools to navigate an often hectic environment. Seeing their continued growth is the highlight of my career.

My Project

Students continue to struggle with anxiety and depression as we all navigate the COVID 19 pandemic. All of our classrooms have a calm down corners where learners can take a break. Everyone will have the opportunity to use these items provided to self soothe, release anger, and work through stress related to the ups and downs of the unknown.

Using these tools allows for students to be proactive in learning specifically about two of the social emotional competencies; self-awareness and self-management.

We know that students can't concentrate on learning if they aren't using their prefrontal cortex or reasoning part of their brains.
