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

My wonderful special education students are working so hard on reading, writing and to mastering math skills. My project is centered around positive reinforcement system. This system relies on small rewards like stickers and toys to encourage and celebrate their achievements.

The primary goal of this project is to enhance the learning experience of special education students within a general classroom setting by introducing positive reinforcement through incentives such as toys and learning materials.

By providing these incentives, my goal is to foster a positive and motivating environment that supports the individualized needs of special education students, promoting their engagement, participation, and overall academic and social development.
