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 name is Emily Walthers, and I am a high school teacher at a Title I school in Phoenix. I run the attendance committee that handles tardy students.
Our students need positive reinforcement!
I am trying to get funds to buy students snacks that I can use to provide positive reinforcement using the PBIS system we have in place. Our students don’t always have people at home to guide them in the right direction, so I am trying to find a positive solution to help students get to class on time.
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
