My name is Priscilla Alvarez and I am currently in my third year majoring in Interdisciplinary Studies with a concentration in Bilingual Education. What first interested me in SALT and the CTE department was their overall goal to promote inclusivity, compassion and engagement through their student-professor partnerships. Although this position has helped me gain knowledge on practical skills any educator should know, this environment has encouraged me to further look at what makes a good educator an even better one. To me, making sure a student feels fulfilled, heard and cared about when leaving my classroom is important, and thankfully through SALT/CTE, I have gained a whole new perspective on how to reach that type of student-teacher relationship that makes a positive difference in my learner's lives, whether that be academically or helping them grow as individuals.
