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 Project

My credit recovery students are working independently on courses as I support them. They develop self-advocacy, time management, notetaking, and other study skills as they progress through their courses for credit.

My students are ready to experience success.

Often, once students realize they have control over their futures through their choices and applying their skills, they find purpose in school and take off.

By creating in my classroom a "lounge for learners" feel, I hope to support the whole student-- a feeling of warmth and comfort that makes them realize that they and their success matter to me. Part of this is keeping snacks on hand whenever possible, and another aspect of the project is gathering general learning references from across the curriculum to post in the classroom, and that's what this project supports.
