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

At our school, we strongly uphold culturally responsive, anti-racist approach to education. We believe in models like restorative justices help students achieve positive outcomes. This is why a calming area will be essential for our school climate and culture. It will truly enhance academic responses and uplift overall wellness.

Having a calm area will benefit our students in a comprehensive way that can offer support for students who require Tier II and Tier III behavioral support.

Students can potentially work with our Reflection Center lead to complete activities that enhances social skills and learn ways to de-escalate and manage emotions.
