At Hermosa Drive Elementary in Fullerton School District, math class is no longer a dreaded subject—it’s a celebration of creativity and fun. Inspired by a workshop on joyful learning, 51·çÁ÷ mentor Kyle Ruiz and her fellows have revolutionized the school’s approach to mathematics education.

From googly-eyed staplers to vibrant murals, the school environment now buzzes with excitement. The transformation extends to the classroom, where Cognitively Guided Instruction (CGI) takes center stage. Students eagerly engage in personalized math problems featuring their names and interests, fostering a sense of belonging and enthusiasm.

The results? Students lose track of time during math lessons, and teachers consistently report joyful learning experiences. By prioritizing shared experiences and relevance, Hermosa Drive Elementary is not just teaching math—it’s inspiring a lifelong love for learning.

As we step into a new year, we are reminded of both the strength and the vulnerability of our community. The recent devastating fires in the Los Angeles region have deeply impacted our neighborhoods, with the heartbreaking loss of schools, homes, businesses, and places of worship leaving a profound void in our community while reminding us of the importance of unity, support, and resilience as we work together to rebuild and heal. Our hearts and prayers go out to everyone affected, and we are already actively allocating funds and crafting programs to assist as we stand in solidarity with the educators, families, and students working to rebuild. In this issue, we celebrate the extraordinary energy and collaboration that continue to shape our community, even in times of challenge. You’ll read about groundbreaking conferences where educators engaged in hands-on workshops and transformative discussions, showcasing the spirit of shared learning. From innovative strategies in family engagement to the celebration of leadership milestones, this newsletter highlights the collective impact we can achieve when we work together. The ART of TEACHING staff remains committed to providing spaces where educators feel empowered and inspired. As you explore this issue, I invite you to join us in continuing to build a culture of collaboration that enriches every student’s educational journey. Thank you for being an essential part of this vibrant community. Let’s make 2025 a year filled with growth, impact, and shared success.

Sincerely,

Jerry Harris

Executive Director
