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 Students
I have the wonderful opportunity of working as the Crisis Intervention Teacher of K-5 students in the Special Education District for NYC. My students come from various backgrounds and most are considered to be in the low-socio economic status range. I work with the students in person every day on improving their social emotional skills. I'm extremely proud of the growth that they are able to make day by day. They continue to show perseverance in the face of adversity.
My Project
In working with students with special needs with the needs varying from Autism Spectrum Disorder, Emotional Disturbance, and Intellectual Disabilities just to name a few. One thing has remained constant across the board the students benefit from positive reinforcers to encourage positive behavior throughout the school.
Throughout our school program our students have the opportunities to earn points every period of the day for displaying behaviors such as Respect, Engagement, Accountability, Leadership.
These points in the past have helped them in earning things such as clubs on Fridays. However, due to COVID-19 classes are unable to mix and my students have not been able to engage in clubs as they have in the past. This year they have asked if they could have a reward store for next school year. A store where they could use their points to purchase items that they would like as a reinforcer of their positive behavior(s).
The items in this project will help to start out our reward store for the upcoming school year. Think of how rewarding my students will feel knowing that they were able to "purchase" these items for themselves by doing the right thing.
More than half of students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
