Background

About Donald P.

Teaching children is not just a job; it is my passion! I realize the importance of providing students with the learning environment in which they can develop socially, emotionally and academically. With the changes since the pandemic, students have changed and their needs have changed. The way teachers meet these needs need to change. My goal is to provide students the highest level of instruction, continuity, and social development as they grow into adulthood. I understand that I will be entering their community and need to ensure that students feel safe, respected, and valued as individuals. As a teacher I am committed to motivate and excite students to learn and develop. I have served in multiple leadership positions. These positions include the Sunnyvale School District level (Curriculum Adoption Teams, English Language Acquisition Team, and Student Teacher Mentor), Site level (Technology Coordinator, Leadership Team, School Site Council, Assessment Coordinator, PLC Lead and Grade Level Lead), Union level (SEA Executive Board, Negotiations, Grievance, and Site Rep.), State Level (California Mathematical Council and CTA State Council), and National Level (NEA Resolutions).
