Marvelous March brings us a bevy of both reflections and experiences, and hopefully warm(er) spring days. Along with this, it also presents us with the opportunity to celebrate our outstanding Teacher of the Month, Ms. Rebecca Garcia!
Ms. Garcia teaches 5th grade at Moscone Elementary and is an educator who inspires students and colleagues alike. Her colleagues share that she is a firm believer that “all students can learn and meet high expectations.” Ms. Garcia also understands that students learn differently and is constantly searching for ways to help students succeed both inside and outside of the classroom.
According to one of her colleagues, she piloted a program at Moscone that would allow flexible seating arrangements for her students which allows for different ways of learning. Ms. Garcia did this because “she believes that creating a positive and safe learning environment can guide student behavior and support learning, allowing the schools’ goals for students to be met.” Thank you, Ms. Garcia!

We warmly thank our friends at KKR for making our Teacher of the Month Program possible this year with a KKR COVID Response Fund. Learn more at KKR.com/grants.
