Today we're talking to Javier, a science teacher at San Andreas who's been with us for 8 years, always bringing an optimism and enthusiasm that is contagious, in the words of Superintendent Goode.
For Javier, this job isn't as much about teaching a subject as it is about helping students rediscover that they can learn to do hard things.
"I always wanted to be the kind of person I needed as a kid," he says. "Continuation schools are all about second chances. When students feel seen, supported, and heard, they do amazing things."
Thank you, Javier, for the priceless work you do of helping our incredible kids get back on track and believe in themselves again.
