I got my credential last year through the SDTR program and student taught at HTH in 9th grade math with Chris Nho.

I love singing and music in general, drag/queer culture and spending time in nature. :)]]> 2021-08-11 18:36:42 UTC https://padlet.com/jtesterman3/edl4arjna0jfsb6f/wish/1675849505 Give yourself some grace :) jtesterman3 https://padlet.com/jtesterman3/edl4arjna0jfsb6f/wish/1675851997 I'm a total perfectionist but everyone has told me the first year of teaching is a whirlwind.

I am a GSE M.Ed Educational Leadership (NSCF) Resident. This year I will primarily be shadowing Joyce Chen as an Education Specialist on the 9th grade teams. I'm originally from St. Louis, MO but have been living in New Orleans for the past 6 years. During the 2020-2021 school year I worked as an Education Specialist at Living School NOLA with Stefin Pasternak. I'm obsessed with Lion King! I love animals and I make earrings out of polymer clay. 
Nice to meet you!]]> 2021-08-26 16:20:04 UTC https://padlet.com/jtesterman3/edl4arjna0jfsb6f/wish/1698813218 Early Advisory Days https://padlet.com/jtesterman3/edl4arjna0jfsb6f/wish/1701041796

    Hello! I'm Victoria (Ms. Rhee for students). I was Margaret's student teacher in Fall 2020 over Zoom, was at Correia Middle School for hybrid in Spring 2021, and just finished my M.Ed./English Credential program at USD this summer. I loved being a Political Science major at UCLA, so I look forward to teaching Humanities!

    Outside of school, I enjoy playing soccer, PC FPS video games, and exploring San Diego (moved here in May 2020).
