Hello, my name is Jose Zelada. I attended CSULA where I earned a Bachelor of Arts in Urban Learnings. I began teaching where I knew I could make a difference. In the classroom, I became aware of the widening gap in 21st-century skills among my students' colleagues and parents, so I decided to go back to school in hopes to help minimize that gap. My M.A in Education with an emphasis on leadership and technology has positioned me in the right direction. I have worked as a freelancer for several nonprofit organizations creating curriculum, as well as crafting specific training and onboarding experiences in the corporate world. I have worked in the nonprofit sector as a Media and Design specialist, where I created digital learning tools for the youth we served. Now I have the pleasure of working with Slauson Academy as an ETS. I am committed to empowering youth, parents, and educators in underserved communities to become 21st-century digital citizens.
