My name is Julie Garcia and this is my 28th year in the San Diego Unified School District (not counting my time here as a student). I spent 20 years teaching math at Memorial Academy and Innovation Middle School where I discovered my passion for teaching and learning with technology. I currently use that knowledge in my leadership practices. During the past two years I have been quite busy curating content for learning at home, training over 5,000 teachers how to teach online, supporting teachers in teaching online and simulcasting, supporting sites as a substitute during staff shortages, and most recently, serving as the interim principal of iHigh Virtual Academy. In addition, I am co-leading the 1:1 device program for SDUSD. It would be an honor to serve on the AASD Board of Directors as the Professional Development Committee Co-Chair as I believe this is an area that best utilizes my skill set. I am an innovative thinker and hard worker that would provide quality opportunities for our leaders. Audra Mandler, Principal, Encanto Elementary (certificated)

In addition to second language learners and students of poverty, 14% of our students receiving services through Individualized Education Plans. I am building my leadership capacity in Cohort 4 of NISL, and participated in a year of coaching through the National Center for Urban School Transformation (NCUST). As an instructional leader of adults as well as students, I believe in the principles of Malcolm Knowles' andragogy learning theory model: (1) Adults need to know why they need to learn something (2) Adults need to learn experientially, (3) Adults approach learning as problem-solving, and (4) Adults learn best when the topic is of immediate value. I am running for Professional Development Co-Chair to support the design of professional learning for our leaders grounded in our Why, based on current needs, and directly related and valuable to the work we are executing on our sites. Jason Navarro, Associate Principal, Logan Memorial Educational Complex (certificated)

I participated in the district’s focus groups on Standards Based Grading and recently got involved with AASD by joining the AASD Focus Groups on Clerical and SpEd Staffing. I am running for the Professional Development Co-Chair position because I am firm believer that high quality and relevant professional development can increase a leader’s efficacy to support high quality instruction and cultivate schools where adults and students thrive. As a newer member of SDUSD and AASD, I hope that my experiences can offer a unique perspective to the AASD Board of Directors and would be honored to serve as your Co-Chair for the Professional Development committee.
