My Students
My dynamic diverse learning students are preparing for their future and eager to learn! However, many of my students are currently struggling both academically and mentally partly due to remote learning. My students are amazing and trying their best to overcome numerous obstacles. They reside and attend school in an urban area. The students at my high school come from diverse backgrounds and many represent low socioeconomic statuses. Many of my students receive special education services for disabilities that range from autism to having a specific learning disability. Despite the many academic/social-emotional challenges and hardships that they have faced, they have participated in remote learning ready to learn.
My Project
This selection of valuable mindfulness and social-emotional resources will help provide my diverse learning students with essential skills needed to promote their emotional health. My objective is to help my students reduce stress, control their anxiety, enhance their self-awareness, and resilience. Social-emotional learning and mindfulness are skills that provide students with valuable knowledge that will serve them for a lifetime.
With your support my students will have access to much needed resources that will motivate them to do their best by improving their social-emotional, mental health, and self-care skills while we practice distance learning.
More than three‑quarters of students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
