This past summer, interns from SFUSD high schools taught elementary school students in the Mission District as part of the Mission Education Project. In addition to working with students in classrooms, interns also took City College classes. The goal of the program is for students to pursue a career in education. Additionally, the Mission Education Project strives to build a community of future Latinx educators, as interns work with primarily Latinx students in San Francisco’s Mission District.
“Spanish is my first language. I speak both [English and Spanish], but I feel a little more comfortable speaking Spanish with them because they mostly speak more Spanish,” intern and SFUSD student Karen Cruz told ABC7 News.
Students were able to intern with the Mission Education Project thanks to SFUSD’s College and Career Readiness Department. The College and Career Readiness Department has several teams that implement SFUSD’s Graduate Profile by offering innovative programs and helping schools rethink the traditional school day. These teams include: Career Technical Education (CTE), Early College, Work-based Learning/Internships, College Ambassadors, AVID and High School Credit Recovery. CCR builds an on-ramp to postsecondary success so students:
Early intervention can change a student’s academic and career trajectory. By exposing students to college courses and careers while getting wrap-around services through SFUSD staff, students build confidence in areas that may have previously felt unattainable. It also helps students complete their graduation requirements by nontraditional means that may not have met their individual needs. The goal is always to improve outcomes for students, families, and communities.
