My Students
I work with students and families that come from under-served communities that are furthest from educational justice and provide them with social and emotional support throughout the day. I also work with families and community members in providing after-school enrichment that is full of physical fitness and STEM activities that keep both their minds and bodies healthy. Additionally, I’m the leader and founder of the school’s Black Family Council.
My goal is to always serve my students and their families to the best of my abilities and to develop and support positive behavior in all of our students.
I teach and interact with over 400 kindergarten through 5th grade students and every day is a new and different experience. We are a school with students who come from a variety of social and economic challenges.
We have implemented a School-Wide Positive Behavior and Intervention Support (PBIS) plan over the last 4 years, "Check-In/Check-Out" (CICO). Through CICO we work to encourage positive behaviors in our students and develop the social skills that will help them achieve their future goals. Our students’ confidence thrives when their social skills are developed in a positive way.
My students are awesome!
My Project
After a long and difficult pandemic year, our school administration really wanted to start the 2021-2022 school year off as positive as possible. This year we adopted the Capturing Kids Hearts model and revamped our PBIS program.
Our students have exceeded expectations and continue to flourish, even amidst the continuing effects of the pandemic.
Throughout the year, I've really looked forward to boosting our PBIS programs to be able to provide our students with additional incentives and rewards for not just good behavior, but for their work as leaders.
Our PBIS program rewards students for qualities such as being supportive to one another, restorative justice work, working as a team, staying resilient, being optimistic, noble, and generous.
The requested materials will help motivate the 4th and 5th grade students to continue their work as positive leaders for the younger students during class as well as lunch and recess. Students will be given the gift card to purchase the enrichment game or activity of their choice. The prizes will show our students just how much we care, not only about their academics, but also who they are as young leaders looking to make a difference.
More than three‑quarters of students from low‑income households
