Javier Abrego

Although Javier has always known he would end up teaching, he truly discovered his passion for working with young kids during a gap year with an Americorps  program in Austin called Literacy First. He relished this opportunity to establish a strong reading foundation in each child, and he is incredibly excited to continue this work in his own classroom.

Javier intends to demonstrate his love of learning by creating a classroom where everyone is empowered to teach one another. He hopes to serve as a positive role model for all his students, and is insistent on ensuring his kids feel comfortable expressing their emotions and being themselves.
