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.
I am a school social worker at a high school in an urban school district. My students come from diverse backgrounds. In addition to school, many students have jobs and other responsibilities at home which adds to their stress levels. My students struggle to manage social, academic, and home demands throughout their day. 67% of students receive free or reduce-priced lunch.
My students face many barriers to achieving academic success.
Many have experienced trauma and have difficulty coming to school regularly. When they do come to school, many struggles to achieve academic success in the classroom. They lack the coping skills needed to manage stress and find academic success.
My Project
The variety of brainteasers and tavern puzzles will help my students build their problem solving and frustration tolerance skills. My students struggle to solve their own problems. The metal tavern puzzles will allow them to build their skills. As they work to solve the puzzles they will be building their frustration tolerance as well as learning what to do when they get upset. The variety of puzzles will help build step by step problem-solving skills. The brainteasers will allow my students to practice the skills we have been learning throughout the school year and help them as they transition to college or a career.
The different styles and levels of brainteasers will help students apply problem-solving skills while building frustration tolerance skills.
Students will have opportunities to practice asking for help, taking a break, and other coping skills. The skills the students apply will help them as they move from high school to college or a career.
