My Students

My students are bright and curious. Many of my students have difficult backgrounds but come to school every day to learn. School is important to them because they know that education is key in improving their outcomes and their lives. We are an elementary school in the city of Detroit. The students are not only interested in improving themselves, but improving and revitalizing their city at the same time. My students have a variety of talents and interests and our goal as a school is to increase their access to different programs and activities that they would not get to experience outside of the school setting.

My Project

With so much going on, it is easy to get overwhelmed and overstimulated in the classroom. Our curriculum focuses on increasing student collaboration and team work. More small group work, means slightly more noise and movement. While we know that this benefits students greatly, it can also lead to over-stimulation for students who are working through trauma.

Sometimes young students with trauma backgrounds just need a "reset".

Using a sensory path can help students "reset" the pathways in their brains, calm down, and feel comfortable again. Once reset, students can head back to class and focus more efficiently, thus improving their capacity for learning. With limited space and time in the school setting, the sensory path provides a quick, teacher and student friendly system that can help to reduce disruptions and minimize student discomfort and stress.
