Celebrate Black Teachers and Students

This project is part of the Black History Month celebration because it supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of the students are Black.

My Students

My students are currently learning how to become entrepreneurs and using social emotional learning to encourage positive behavior in school. My students are disadvantaged and many parents can’t afford supplies such as a t-shirt press machine and a Cricket wireless to produce t-shirt’s . The usage of the machines will help develop creativity by the students to create positive messages on being positive and not bullying. The students are learning all aspects of the fashion industry.

My Project

Creating images using technology will help eliminate wasting paper. Also, students will be able to create clothing lines and other merchandising items for our school store. Students will be able to use this in support of any social emotional behavior they may experience. Leading the new way of technology in social emotional behavior is also a key factor in taking negative behavior and make it positive. Many of the students in this program have really blossom. I know these tools will create a positive experience and enhance awareness in creativity for our young ladies.
