Denver Public Schools is getting creative to fill teaching positions by bringing in educators from around the world.
It's part of the district's international educator institute started just a few months earlier. And already, DPS is ready to expand the program to bring in even more teachers. "Yes, we are counting. We have exactly four weeks," said Santa Martinez, an English Language Development Teacher at Bruce Randolph School. "Eight months and a few days," Martinez said."At the beginning it was challenging, especially with the weather.
Marrero said the international educator initiative has only been around a year and already, they're ready to grow to include more teachers from more countries. "So what a great way to just bring culture and also, having someone that looks like you but even more so, has walked the same paths as you is transformational," Marrero said.
The work is challenging her, pushing her to be creative and through it, helping her become a better teacher.
