My Students
I am the school Guidance Counselor and Basketball Coach at a Title I elementary school in Brooklyn, NY. Our neighborhood school has a multitude of diverse students from many different cultures and backgrounds.
Allowing children to participate in youth sports is a strong way for children to explore and develop lifelong skills.
Youth sports not only play an important role in exercise but also promotes mental and psychological advances as well. As our school's Basketball Coach, I recognize that organized sports can be a powerful tool to reach many of my young boys and girls who are struggling to find their balance and purpose.
With the equipment and materials for our new afterschool clubs and sports teams, I can help them achieve personal responsibility so they can succeed academically and socially.
With funding so limited in our school, money for games and kits are non-existent. I'm reaching out for help so we can develop minds of our future leaders.
My Project
As a guidance counselor, I use a holistic approach to counsel students and Bloom's Taxonomy model to give them intervention strategies and techniques to improve social and emotional learning. We do individual and group activities, draw scenarios, role-playing and now I want to incorporate board games as applied learning such as monopoly. Students will learn about budgeting money and making good financial choices.
Students will able use board games to think strategically and help with team-building skills.
Other board games such as operations will teach students who want to be in the medical field how to conduct surgical operations and the game of life teaches students about societal views, moral and values.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
