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 Students

My students are a vibrant bunch of boys and girls who just want to be able to learn just like everyone else. Their intellectual disabilities often prevent that from happening. They all have different backgrounds. My students are a mixture of nationalities, languages, and disabilities. This is part of what makes them special. What they have in common is trauma, poverty, and a desire to learn despite their disabilities. Most of these are not qualities they are proud of, but they deal with what they are given. The results are mixed, but their drive never stops.

My Project

My school uses a positive behavior mindset known as PBIS (Positive Behavior through Interventions and Supports). We "catch" students being good, and they receive a ticket. Students in lower grades are entered into a raffle each week for prizes of their choosing, and older students are able to spend the tickets they earn like money in our traveling school store. We also have monthly behavior incentives such as movie days, ice cream parties, extra recess, and BINGO. Students really look forward to these events.

The implementation of the events has significantly increased positive behaviors in the school.

While students are displaying more positive behaviors, they are still in it for the prizes. They are really tiring of the same prizes and things teachers have brought in that their own children no longer use. The hope is that by refreshing the prize buckets and the store, students will be more excited about the program again! What kid doesn't love cinch sacks, stress balls (you'd be surprised at how many students ask for these), cars, and brain games?
