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

My students are from Indio California, where poverty is a major problem. They face great diversity on a daily basis and 100% of the students receive free and reduced lunches. The classes I advise are made up of special education students from the 10th - 12th grades. They are promoting their own success because they are determined, motivated, creative, confident, experienced, and curious. They are developing real-world skills and digging deep and showing their grit. Our student entrepreneurs are excited to be part of a group that has the opportunity to learn unique skills to support their transition into the workplace and beyond. Students are working towards creating an on-campus business. Through this journey, they will create all aspects of the business from the initial business plan, marketing, and more. They will experience life as a business owner. Our class will prepare our students to have not only workplace skills but also teach them how to be innovative young entrepreneurs.

My Project

Special education students both in the classroom and on virtual learning will be able to contribute to building a business from the ground up. They will create business plans, designing logos, and produce products. They will also learn marketing, branding, and working with customers. From A to Z they will become entrepreneurs learning real-world skills that will help them learn how to transition to the community after graduation.

Using the materials students will produce logoed gear that they will sell on-campus in their own business they have named Raja's Work.
