Bio
Brandon J. Savoy
Reiko is a committed person, dedicated to making the world a better place. We were in the same Apprentice Teacher cohort for the Denver School of Science and Technology (DSST) and worked closely together throughout that year as we developed as instructors. After the program, she went on to teach Spanish at DSST: Stapleton High School, now called DSST: Montview High School and I, Writing at DSST: Byers Middle School. She was a teacher that went above and beyond her required duties to ensure that all students, regardless of race and socioeconomic status, were allowed to use their voice and express their emotions as freely as possible. Her classroom was warm and welcoming, but expectations were high and support from Reiko was strong. I truly enjoyed learning and working alongside Reiko as well as being challenged by her. She pushed me, as well as the team on her campus, to be better teachers and advocates for our students. To this day, my classroom success has been made possible by my interactions with Reiko Anderson.
