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

How can we close the achievement gap when students do not have the necessary materials to succeed? A review of student grades and school-wide data indicate that students with disabilities are the lowest performing sub-group at our elementary school.

The students in my classroom are students with learning and emotional disabilities.

Many of them have experienced trauma in their lives and have difficulty coming to school. Our classes serve students with a range of disabilities, including intellectual disabilities, emotional disturbance, autism spectrum disorder and specific learning disabilities. The typical student in my class function on a 3rd to 4th grade level of math concepts and struggle to complete their task. The opportunity and achievement gaps are apparent among our student population.

My Project

Our students need to learn and develop confidence within themselves to be a positive citizen in our schools. Students are in need of being rewarded for achievements in academic and social success. These incentives such as pencil grips, stickers, stress balls, to name a few, will provide a foundation for all students to be able to perform at their highest potential while earning rewards through a token economy program. This token economy will diminish negative behavior and promote higher level of learning for all. In order to motivate learning one must offer a positive and safe learning environment. Thank you for your support and contributions.
