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.
We would like to invite parents and families for a short meet and greet with our two candidates on Friday, April 10th, where you will be able to engage with them and ask questions about next year. There will be light refreshments at this meet and greet. We would love to see you there! You can sign up here.
