Adria Iraheta joined the Denver7 news team in January 2024. After spending the past decade making her way across the country, the Los Angeles native is thrilled to be back out west!
Many of the Bruce Randolph School English language development teacher’s students are new to the country.“I am in my first year teaching here for Denver Public Schools and I have nine months in Denver,” Martinez told Denver7.
Dr. Marrero told Denver7 that dozens of teachers expressed interest in coming to work at DPS to learn more about the district’s biliteracy efforts in hopes of replicating it in their home country.Of course, moving to a new country isn't easy.“It was more like eight that made it . Then out of that eight, five are still with us.”
The district says its goal is to have at least 200 international teachers in classrooms by this fall. While Martinez admits it was still a challenging journey, it was all possible because of the help she received from DPS – from finding housing to getting around the city.
