Student Presentation
Future Focused Education
Future Focused Education began in Albuquerque, New Mexico, a region with a diverse array of languages and cultures, where community is highly valued, but where the assets of our youth are not always recognized by the schools they attend. Future Focused came about because a one-size-fits-all model of education doesn’t fit the needs, dreams, and challenges of youth in New Mexico.In 2013, Future Focused Education founded the Leadership Schools Network, a network of industry-focused charter schools in Albuquerque that re-engage students who have been underserved by the traditional school system. Future Focused no longer facilitates the network, but has since expanded to support schools across the state in adopting elements of the 4 pillar model.
Evelyn Chávez and Lisa Meyer
AIM4S3™ Trainer and Project Coordinator and
Project GLAD® Trainer and AIM4S3™ Developer
Evelyn Chávez and Lisa Meyer bring decades of combined experience and passion to DLeNM’s work supporting educators and multilingual learners. Evelyn, a bilingual native of Clovis, NM, draws on her 14 years of experience teaching in dual language classrooms and her deep commitment to language and culture. Now serving as Project Coordinator for CLAVES™ and AIM4S3™, she supports teacher development as a lead trainer for AIM4S3™, CLAVES™, and Literacy Squared®. Lisa, DLeNM’s Director of Programming, has spent the last decade guiding schools and teachers in delivering high-quality, engaging instruction for culturally and linguistically diverse students. A former classroom teacher and Project GLAD® trainer, she is also a developer of the AIM4S3™ math framework. Together, they bring a shared belief in the power of professional development to transform instruction and outcomes for all learners.
Vicki Chávez
Project GLAD® Trainer and Superintendent
Vicki Chávez has served in education for 25 years, first as a Middle School & High School Math Teacher and Varsity Girls Soccer Coach, an Instructional Coach, School Principal, Executive Director of the SW Regional Education Cooperative, and now as Superintendent for Deming Public Schools. The diversity of her experiences has offered multiple lenses (and opportunities) to learn, grow, and improve her practices. Her passion for equity and opportunity drove her to start a Spanish Dual Language and Enrichment program at her school and continue her own learning about language development by pursuing a TESOL endorsement. Her deep commitment to students has driven her to be active in advocating for legislation that ensures students and teachers across New Mexico have equitable access to resources and supports that improve student outcomes.
