I need books to design curriculum for Social Emotional Learning.

Austin, TX Grades 9-12

Celebrating 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

I am passionate about designing an equitable, engaging, trauma-informed Social Emotional Learning (SEL) curriculum. My mission is to ensure that I am equipped to provide the highest quality of education for my scholars. This requires me to continuously "sharpen the saw" as I continue to serve as an educator. The selected texts for this project will guide me as I endeavor to enhance our SEL curriculum.

My primary focus is training and integrating mindful movement and meditation in our SEL sessions using the Breathe for Change TEACH Method.

Through this training, I will become certified in the Breathe For Change TEACH Method, which will support and empower me to teach in a trauma-informed, equitable, and accessible way, and deepen my expertise as a healing-centered community builder.

● Trauma-Informed TEACHing

● Equitable TEACHing

● Accessible TEACHing

● Community-Based TEACHing

● Healing-Centered TEACHing

I will also strengthen my understanding of yoga with a deeper dive into chair yoga, sequencing, restorative yoga, and yoga philosophy. Additionally, I will develop my capacity as a social-emotional learning and mindfulness expert. As a 200-hour CYT (Certified Yoga Teacher), upon completion of this 300-hour Training I will be able to register as a 500-hour CYT through the Yoga Alliance. Therefore, I will be able to facilitate an even more dynamic and effective yoga and SEL program to benefit my students' mental and physical health.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
