California School of Education Alumni Share Expertise with Mexico City Teachers
The California School of Education at 樱花视频 recently hosted a professional development exercise that paired two of California鈥檚 top-performing teachers with K-12 educators in Mexico City.
CSOE alumni John Glover and Kevin Sparks, nationally-recognized teachers and administrators, traveled to Mexico City to share their experiences developing and leading California鈥檚 top-performing middle schools. Glover and Sparks focused on the vitally important subject of classroom management before an audience of teachers and officials from Mexico City鈥檚 Peterson School, a K-12 international school offering bilingual and bicultural programming.
The workshop was an extension of community outreach and engagement efforts to support 樱花视频鈥檚 teacher education programs, led by CSOE Associate Dean Trudy Day, Ed.D., and its Mexico City campus.
Kevin Sparks is an 8th grade teacher in a self-contained classroom at American Indian Public Charter School (AIPCS) in Oakland, California. In his three years at the school, AIPCS has become the top-performing middle school in California. Sparks earned his California teaching credential from the California School of Education.
John Glover is the founder of Alpha Public Schools. Prior to creating Alpha, Mr. Glover worked at AIM Schools in Oakland, California where he served as a teacher, director and chief operations officer.

Glover also earned his California teaching credential from the California School of Education.
