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.
By enhancing my leadership as a Breathe For Change Wellness Champion, I plan to create and implement a K-6 Peace Leaders Club to foster healing and social change on our school campus. As an MTSS Tier 1 Intervention utilizing the TEACH Method (Trauma-Informed, Equitable, Accessible, Community-Based, and Healing-Centered), the Peace Leaders Club will promote safety, belonging, and engagement on campus through the use of Breathe for Change Mindfulness, social-emotional earning, and yoga.
By empowering the students to understand and embody the notion and practice that PEACE BEGINS within each of them, the students will hold ownership and responsibility for the safety, belonging, and engagement at our school.
The Peace Leaders will receive and deliver weekly wellness practices as the promoters on campus, helping to aid their peers during recess and social times focusing on the areas of self-awareness, self-management, social awareness, relationship skills, and responsible decision-making (CASEL).
This is part one of a three-year plan: I will begin with training students, extend to training the supervisors/noon duties, and finally, offer the strategies and practices to our families and community. I plan to present the initiative to the Riverside Unified School District Board of Education and Superintendent to share the amazing impact this project will have on our students, classrooms, and school culture.
