Joseph Pearson
President My name is Joseph Pearson, but I go by Joey or Profe Pearson. I am a teacher, instructional coach, and curriculum writer who believes that education changes lives when teachers build and leverage relationships that open doors to unimaginable success. Though I am a Spanish teacher, the underlying goal of my instruction is to help students learn how to be creative problem solvers and respectful global citizens. I want to assist students as they find their voices through my student-centered instruction, reminding them that their thoughts and contributions matter. I am honored to work with FLCSD and its members to promote world-language education and 21st century skills in classrooms around San Diego county! |
