Alejandra Guzman, the Science Strategist for the Los Fresnos CISD, was one of 30 educators worldwide named to the TED-Ed Innovative Educator program.

Eleven countries were represented by the third cohort of 30 TED-Ed Innovative Educators. [Learn more about the TED-Ed Innovative Educator program here.]

As leaders within TED’s global network of over 250,000 teachers, these outstanding educators are dedicated to making the world better for learners everywhere by helping people make the most of TED’s free tools for teachers and students — including TED-Ed Lessons, TED-Ed Clubs and the TED-Ed Platform.

Guzman presented a session “Edmodified Data Driven Instruction” at the EdmodoCon conference in San Francisco in August She and the other 29 educators will participate in a year-long professional development program. She must participate in weekly one-hour videoconference sessions with her TED-Ed peers. She will also participate in a professional learning opportunity in New York in December with her peers.

“Educating future generations is my calling and passion,” Guzman said. “It comes naturally to me; it’s in my DNA. I learned from the best – my parents, grandparents, aunts and uncles were all rock-star educators.”
