SISD Above and Beyond Award
Laura Cardenas has been teaching at Gus Birdwell Elementary for nine years. She taught kindergarten and started teaching English as a Second Language (ESL) this school year.
She has many responsibilities including teaching the newcomer program. Newcomers are new to the country and speak their native language. The goal of the program is to immerse the students in the English language and prepare them for their new learning in a second language. Fifteen students ranging from kindergarten through ninth grade have been attending the newcomer class. “She differentiates and meets the needs of all the students,” stated Lizet Olmos, Gus Birdwell Elementary (GBE) principal. “She is intentional about building relationships with the families of the students and helps them in and out of school,” added Olmos.
Due to the growth of the program, Mrs. Cardenas had to move to a different room. “We had to transition to a bigger classroom, “smiled Olmos. “She supports eighty-seven students on the campus, and does it with a smile!” shared Olmos.
Cardenas also manages an after-school homework program for Emergent Bilingual (EB) students and serves on the E-Club committee. E-Club is an after-school activity program that helps reach the EB students and their families. Olmos said, “She radiates positivity and is a great asset to GBE!”
Congratulations on a well-deserved award!
