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

I am a school social worker. My students are kiddos that participate in social skills, grief, and anger management groups, and those that receive individual support from me for a variety of reasons, including peer conflicts/bullying, behavior, home issues, resource support (food, clothing, utility/rent support, community-based mental health services, etc).

My Project

My goal is to provide a calming space for students who are emotionally dysregulated. If my project were funded, I would be able to provide a semi-secluded, calm space where students of all ages can physically/emotionally re-regulate by accessing sensory toys and soft items to help them feel safe and secure. A calming corner will lend to improved academic and behavioral outcomes as research supports that social/emotional learning is an effective method for teaching children self-regulatory skills and, that students who are able to self-regulate have improved behavioral and academic outcomes (McClelland & Cameron, 2011).
