Help me give my students tools and resources to increase engagement and academic success.

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 Project

All of the students who will benefit from this project participate in a therapeutic, self-contained, special education program. Our students receive services due to trauma, social, emotional, and behavioral issues, and all are identified as high risk due to their ongoing history of disengagement from school based on truancy, academic barriers, and behavioral needs. The resources included in this project, such as the bean bag chair and stress balls, will assist us in providing students with tools and healthy foods and snacks which will allow the staff to build connections with students by helping to meet basic needs and teach positive coping skills.

The majority of our students have not had many feelings of success and achievement in school and through the RISE Academy at HPHS, many at-risk students have been able to graduate and find post-secondary success.

Our students face many issues outside of school including traumatic experiences, abuse, neglect, poverty, and an inability to have many of their basic needs met. By providing snacks, some of which students earn through a restorative-based rewards program, these students no longer have to worry about hunger taking away from their ability to focus on their studies and discover academic success. The sensory tools also allow for our teachers and staff to work with students in processing their emotions and learning how to develop positive coping strategies which will help them achieve success in school and after graduation.
