Celebrating 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 Project
My students participate in hands-on employability skills training in the school in preparation for future employment. My students are hard-working special needs young adults who are focused on learning in hopes of gaining paid employment at the end of the school year. This year we created a school supply shop where the students do 100% of the manning of the store. From inventory to commercials on social media, from marketing flyers to customer service, they do it all.
Help me give my students give cards to motivate them in their steps to independence.
The students will be able to receive gift cards when they complete transitional goals for post-secondary career, educational, and daily living goals.
The gift cards that I am requesting for my project will be used as incentives when my students complete transitional goals. My students are transitioning from high school to the real world. They take small steps to grow their future selves. They are learning financial literacy, building a resume, budgeting, and interviewing skills that are all needed in the workforce. They do all this while working in the school's supply store. They are very motivated and the gift cards will be an incentive to motivate them to strive for success.
