Help me give my students the technological support they need. With an HP laptop I can organize my workshops and activities for my 11th graders who are preparing for college.
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
My students come from low-income families and are first-generation students who plan on attending college. It is an urban school district which does not receive the significant funding that we need for all of the programs that are an absolute necessity to our students. They are wonderful students. Many of my students are in special education and require extra supports. As a school counselor, I work with them and teach them anti-bullying strategies and help develop personal and social/emotional goals for them, as well as career goals. I try to differentiate in my group work and have worked remotely with them conducting weekly counselor check ins and self help activities. Students will be taught strategies to help teach them coping skills for bullying and suicide prevention as well as stress release during Covid 19. Many of these emotional and social issues take over their lives during their high school careers and impact their success and many have struggled with remote learning. By teaching them the skills necessary, they can overcome the barriers they are faced with in order to be successful!
My Project
The laptop will be used to conduct workshops, access resources and provide my students with the support that they need, either in the class or through remote learning.
As a school counselor, I am being faced with many challenges with remote counseling.
I want to give my students the best opportunity to receive information, counseling and different resources, but I need a laptop. It is my goal to share with my students a greater vision and to help them emotionally get through this pandemic by also being successful in school.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
