The students in seventh-grade science teacher Brenda Fuentes’s class at IDEA South Flores say they feel heard and safe, and genuinely love coming to her class. It’s why she is KSAT’s Educator of the Month.
”I just feel happy. When I walk into her class I just feel happy,” said Jose Paredes, a seventh grader at IDEA South Flores.
”Sometimes they don’t have that outlet at home,” Fuentes said. “So knowing that I am the outlet for them, and just making it a safe space and letting them know they can be themselves, like I am here for them 100% all the time, so that’s what gets me going coming to work every day.”A shy-by-nature person in front of the camera, she becomes alive in front of her classroom, driving home the importance of science to her students in the real world.
”We know that this job is not easy,” Renteria said. “So her work goes a long way and it’s greatly appreciated by the staff, by scholars and certainly by parents as well.”
