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
"Deep Kindness" offers student leaders the tools to lead with empathy and compassion—core qualities that are essential for effective leadership. In today’s world, where students are often dealing with personal challenges and a wide range of social dynamics, the ability to practice and spread kindness can make a significant impact. Houston Kraft’s approach goes beyond surface-level kindness and teaches how to incorporate it into everyday interactions, even in difficult situations.
The book will help my student leaders: Develop emotional intelligence to better understand and connect with others, enhance their communication and conflict resolution skills by using kindness as a framework, create a more inclusive and supportive school culture by leading with empathy and foster resilience in themselves and their peers through thoughtful, kind actions.
By reading "Deep Kindness," my student leaders will gain a deeper understanding of the positive influence kindness can have in leadership and community-building, enabling them to be more effective, compassionate role models for their peers.
