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 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 destressing 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 remotely during Covid 19 and have a safe space to continue their self-growth. 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

Materials will help to improve and increase student attention and focus while helping students destress during COVID 19. By helping my students deal with social emotional stressors, ultimately, I can help to increase their academic achievement. During my remote Counselor Check in, I will share different activities that students can do at home to help when they are struggling emotionally. and teach them how to journal for release of emotions. The journal writing will help to guide further discussions on topics the students are concerned about. In addition, since the are beginning their college searches, this will be a way to organize them.
