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
I teach a group of "at promise" students who were pre-identified because they struggle in multiple areas, academics, attendance, and behavior. This program and class is designed to provide students with academic and social emotional support to be successful in high school and provide them with opportunities to develop their leadership skills.
Many of my lessons and classroom activities focus on gratitude, kindness, compassion, empathy, and finding ways to pay it forward and making an impact outside of the classroom.
Through these lessons, students become more mindful of others’ perspectives, situations, viewpoints, and needs. They are the voices we need to listen to, to see what our students need and want. Not all students get to experience success and not all students are recognized or rewarded for their efforts and achievements. There are always students who are left out. The popcorn machine will be used to create challenges and school wide incentives. They will be created by my students to address needs and challenges of our school and students to make their school experience a positive and rewarding one. My students will analyze the experiences of their peers to make school an inclusive learning environment. Thank you for your support and for empowering my students.
More than half of students from low‑income households
