Cory Jong teaches 6th-grade humanities and starts the school year off with building relationships. She teaches with the mindset of "they don't care what you know until they know that you care." She has made regular home visits with students during the pandemic to reinforce her commitment to helping them succeed. Cory is dedicated to instilling a deep sense of pride in students and goes above and beyond to help students build confidence in themselves. She is excited to be at the forefront of ethnic studies curriculum development at the middle school level for the district. As staff sponsor of Warriors for Justice, she supports the organizing of a youth-led, school-based social justice club addressing intersectional climate justice issues. She is pursuing her passion as an educator-organizer, encouraging students to gain leadership experience and to "be the change they wish to see in the world."
