Gates Elementary teacher Kayla John laughs at a drawing a student drew of her during guided reading in January 2019. San Antonio ISD pays her an extra $15,000 stipend as a master teacher.
From Texas Public Radio:
Four years ago, Gates Elementary on San Antonio’s east side was on the state’s list of failing schools. Only 15 percent of its students were reading at grade level.
Now Gates is one of the fastest-improving campuses in the San Antonio Independent School District. School officials credit its success in part to teachers like Kayla John.
