This week’s Homegrown Hero is Gabriela Calderón-Espinal, Social Studies/ENL Teacher at Bay Shore High School. This past week we caught up with her to know more about her story, and what she has experienced since the pandemic started. We thank Gabriela for all her efforts and for inspiring our club with her acts.
Tell me about your career and what inspires you every day?
I teach global history to a diverse group of students. Most of my classes are recent immigrant students who are learning English as another language. My students inspire me everyday.
