Perez is the principal of Classical Academy Online, a blended learning high school in Escondido, and lives in Escondido.
Three years ago, our school in Escondido made the decision to double down on our efforts to build meaningful mentoring relationships with our students, and to involve them as partners in their own learning. As every year begins with National Mentoring Month a campaign held each January to promote youth mentoring this is the perfect opportunity for educators to reflect on the value and impact of strong and trusting relationships with students, and the urgent need to fortify them in a time of distance learning.
