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

The students I teach are a diverse and enthusiastic group of learners. Students who populate and learn in my classroom range from general education to special-education to English language learners and everything in between. Our school is set in an urban setting in New York and our population is as international as the city we reside in. Some students are encountering formal education for the first time which lends itself to a unique set of challenges and opportunities. Thank you.

My Project

Thank you for looking into this project!

Every other month we run a student recognition program to showcase student achievement in our middle school.

At this event, the entire middle school comes together (450 students, teachers, and administrators) in the auditorium to recognize deserving students who have made the middle school a better place. Teachers get up in front of the students and say the student’s name they would like to recognize and what the student did to deserve the recognition. Reasons can range from academic performance to outstanding citizenship to improvement in behavior or attendance. Students are presented with a certificate to commemorate the event as a means of positive reinforcement. This program has paid dividends as student behavior incidences have decreased and the overall middle school culture has improved.

Additionally, we hold a recognition for students who have achieved honor roll status as well.

The printer will help enhance the certificates and allow for enhanced creativity in recognizing our students.
