My students are part of a public school district in a major city in Illinois. The district includes students in grades kindergarten through 8th grade. They are primarily Latino students who come from low-income families. Most are hard workers, but many face great challenges, which prevent them from reaching their full potential. My students have great strengths and talents, but need to be taught specific social skills and provided with the tools needed to be successful in both school and life. My students attend a school district dedicated to providing this emotional and social support because we recognize the close relationship it has with their ability to be academically successful.
