Dallas ISD welcomes back teachers and 1,400 new hires for back to school
“I have gone through tornadoes. I have gone through everything, and I'm still here,” Pandya said. “I am convinced that I was born to teach.”Teachers like Quincena and Pandya are helping address the nation’s and state’s teacher shortage that has intensified following the pandemic.“It takes a village,” Quincena said. “And so, these kids are not just the teacher’s responsibilities. These kids are all of our responsibilities because we're helping to raise the citizens of the future.
While Dallas ISD teachers go over new curriculum and prepare their classrooms for the first day of school on Aug. 14, they said parents still have time to help their students succeed. “Read with your kid and make learning not just on pencil and paper, but learning happens in all environments,” Quincena said.
"I want the ones who need help, and so, whenever I have students who need a lot more of my effort, I say, 'God, give me the wisdom to help them'," Pandya said."Because that's what I'm here for. So, it's a challenge, and I give it my best. I don't give up." The school district still aims to fill at least 130 vacancies and will host additional job fairs in the fall semester.
