Hello, parents and families! We are excited to welcome two Alder graduates to our staff next year, Manda Nguyen (Math), and Estrella Rodriguez-Beltran (Resource). The Alder Graduate School of Education (Alder GSE) program is a one-year, residency-based teacher preparation model. Residents earn a Master’s degree and teaching credential while working four days a week with a mentor teacher at the Da Vinci Schools. Manda and Estrella are finishing their year as student teachers and will be joining us as full-time teachers in the 2026-27 school year.
