My Project

I'm an educator who's been in the behavior field for 15 years as a support staff and have taken on a new role with more responsibility this year. My goal is to create a Social Emotional Learning program in a school filled with children from all over our county who have behavioral needs.

The items I have listed will help get me started in creating a curriculum, having therapeutic tools for the students to utilize, and incentives for all of their hard work.

These students need that extra support in a smaller classroom setting like we provide at our school. We're a second chance school when others have said "We've tried everything, we don't know what to do" that's when the kids are sent to us!
