We Are SFUSD

I love being of service to students, staff, and families and writing lesson plans and curating curriculum to support social emotional learning.

Every day, I go to school and can work and play - it doesn’t even feel like work.

I’m hopeful that if we can show youth that we care about them and we are here to support them, they can develop into the amazing leaders of tomorrow that we so desperately need.

Our priorities are keeping our students safe, building community and connection with our students, and making sure that every student is sharing their thinking.

I try to end the stigma of talking about mental health and wellness by normalizing those conversations - that’s my way of talking to our youth.

Wellness Ambassadors is a group of students focusing on supporting our peers’ wellness. Last year we created videos for the school and district addressing social justice issues.

I joined Foodwise Teens because I wanted to learn how to cook, learn customer service skills, and get better with socializing with others.

I’m glad to be part of a school where our students exhibit excellence and pride in what they do.

"I want to meet students where they see themselves and build from there with each student who I encounter."

We are excited to help students rebuild the relationship they have with school from the home context and back to the community of a school learner’s context.

My role involves serving as a thought partner and collaborator with teachers and staff with the goal of improving our school's outcomes for students.

Each individual is important to this community - like a puzzle, if just one person, piece, is missing, this whole image is incomplete.

I am proud to be in a school community where we believe in each and every child's brilliance and power while overcoming challenges together.

Someday, I want to learn how to cook, so I can create my own recipes and write a cookbook.

Fifth grade was one of my funniest years and when I grew the most as a student. I will never forget poetry night and our camping trip.

My favorite teacher makes learning more fun by giving homework that involves hands-on activities.

I’m proud of how much work and how far the facilities department has come - it’s pretty amazing to see all the collaboration to get our school buildings open and ready.

If there's anything I want the world to know about school lunch workers, it's that we care and we're here, and no matter what, we'll always be here.

Partnership starts with families and the student, respecting where they’re at, where they come from and the fabric that makes them who they are in that moment.

My job as a teacher is to arrange for victories for my students.  I may present them with a task, but as an educator I try to envision the way forward. 

 

Representation is really important. Books should be mirrors for students, content should be mirrors for students, they should see themselves represented in the curriculum.

As a teacher, I have always believed that equity and justice meant being the best possible teacher I could be for my students.

I wanted to take a minute to thank all who were involved in providing Chromebooks for the students to borrow. I have a third grade daughter who is benefiting from this decision. My husband and I both grew up in San Francisco and honestly, I am so pleased with all of the efforts that SFUSD always seems to make. Thank you again for giving our family one less thing to stress about during these changing times.

I want to study Political Science in college because I want to be a Civil Rights attorney. America needs more people who are able to fix it - things like police brutality, the prison system, and sentencing laws.
