She goes to a high school a few miles up the street.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The most fun thing I’ve made is using the 3-D printer and I made a game,” Fornes said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>By game, Valeria means a board game.

She was part of a team that worked with community members and students to develop the program.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The idea is simple: coding is also making, and it takes the same problem-solving skills as making stuff in real life. Google teamed up with MIT’s Media Lab to create the Code Next curriculum.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The lab space where students work is the size of a classroom, only with a 3-D printer and laser cutter along one wall. The lab has an industrial feel; the floors are concrete, the ceiling is exposed. Alvarez said the architecture has been carefully planned to reflect Code Next’s teaching philosophy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We wanted kids to see the inner workings of this space,” she said. “We want them to see the pipes, the wiring, everything that makes this place work.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Instead of lectures on programming, students at Code Next are assigned projects — like making a board game. Instead of teachers, Code Next has coaches. Many are trained classroom teachers, though they don’t necessarily have coding skills. Together, the students and coaches figure out how to make stuff.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bryson Gauff is a coach and was helping students create the graphics for a sticker on the computer.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“What’s been really cool for me is, not being a coder, learning with the kids,” Guaff said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Creating a New Model\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://code.org/about/leadership/hadi_partovi\">Hadi Partovi\u003c/a> has done a lot of thinking about how to teach computer programming in elementary and high schools. He’s the CEO and co-founder of \u003ca href=\"https://code.org/\">Code.org\u003c/a>, a nonprofit that provides computer science curriculum and teacher training to K-12 schools. Code.org is used in about 120 school districts nationwide and is funded by tech companies like Microsoft, Facebook and Google.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“These are relatively new ideas,” Partovi said. “They’re broadly seen as a way to get students engaged but they’re not broadly used.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Partovi said in college he learned computer programing by taking notes while listening to an expert programmer give a lecture. He says that approach generally works for students who are already into coding, but it’s failed to hook students who aren’t. And it’s these students educators need to reach.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Last year more than 600,000 tech jobs went unfilled in the United States. Tech companies and the \u003ca href=\"https://www.whitehouse.gov/blog/2016/01/30/computer-science-all\">Obama administration have pushed\u003c/a> to make computer science a part of the K-12 curriculum. But even in \u003ca href=\"http://www.sacbee.com/news/local/education/article67095957.html\">California\u003c/a>, home of Silicon Valley, a large majority of high schools don’t offer classes in computer programming.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This is still a relatively nascent field and the majority of our public schools don’t teach it. And so computer science really lends itself to a new pedagogical model,” Partovi said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He said universities from Harvard to Carnegie Mellon — and MIT with Code Next — have been taking the lead in creating a new model. While Google plans to open a similar after-school program in Harlem next year, MIT says the immediate goal is to use the programs to figure out a curriculum that works and get educators to adopt it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>This story is part of our ongoing series on Techquity: Diversity, Inclusion and Equity in Silicon Valley. \u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\n",

She was part of a team that worked with community members and students to develop the program.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The idea is simple: coding is also making, and it takes the same problem-solving skills as making stuff in real life. Google teamed up with MIT’s Media Lab to create the Code Next curriculum.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The lab space where students work is the size of a classroom, only with a 3-D printer and laser cutter along one wall. The lab has an industrial feel; the floors are concrete, the ceiling is exposed. Alvarez said the architecture has been carefully planned to reflect Code Next’s teaching philosophy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We wanted kids to see the inner workings of this space,” she said. “We want them to see the pipes, the wiring, everything that makes this place work.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Instead of lectures on programming, students at Code Next are assigned projects — like making a board game. Instead of teachers, Code Next has coaches. Many are trained classroom teachers, though they don’t necessarily have coding skills. Together, the students and coaches figure out how to make stuff.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bryson Gauff is a coach and was helping students create the graphics for a sticker on the computer.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“What’s been really cool for me is, not being a coder, learning with the kids,” Guaff said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Creating a New Model\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://code.org/about/leadership/hadi_partovi\">Hadi Partovi\u003c/a> has done a lot of thinking about how to teach computer programming in elementary and high schools. He’s the CEO and co-founder of \u003ca href=\"https://code.org/\">Code.org\u003c/a>, a nonprofit that provides computer science curriculum and teacher training to K-12 schools. Code.org is used in about 120 school districts nationwide and is funded by tech companies like Microsoft, Facebook and Google.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“These are relatively new ideas,” Partovi said. “They’re broadly seen as a way to get students engaged but they’re not broadly used.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Partovi said in college he learned computer programing by taking notes while listening to an expert programmer give a lecture. He says that approach generally works for students who are already into coding, but it’s failed to hook students who aren’t. And it’s these students educators need to reach.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Last year more than 600,000 tech jobs went unfilled in the United States. Tech companies and the \u003ca href=\"https://www.whitehouse.gov/blog/2016/01/30/computer-science-all\">Obama administration have pushed\u003c/a> to make computer science a part of the K-12 curriculum. But even in \u003ca href=\"http://www.sacbee.com/news/local/education/article67095957.html\">California\u003c/a>, home of Silicon Valley, a large majority of high schools don’t offer classes in computer programming.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This is still a relatively nascent field and the majority of our public schools don’t teach it. And so computer science really lends itself to a new pedagogical model,” Partovi said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He said universities from Harvard to Carnegie Mellon — and MIT with Code Next — have been taking the lead in creating a new model. While Google plans to open a similar after-school program in Harlem next year, MIT says the immediate goal is to use the programs to figure out a curriculum that works and get educators to adopt it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>This story is part of our ongoing series on Techquity: Diversity, Inclusion and Equity in Silicon Valley. \u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

So it’s just like, I might as well keep going.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Jones, for her part, takes pains with her thrift-store outfits, and sports a new hairstyle practically every week. She’s acutely conscious of her hygiene.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I don’t feel like just because I’m homeless that I have to look the part,” she said, while walking by a tent encampment under a freeway in Oakland.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Yet Jones grew up at great risk for homelessness: Her mother died when she was 5, and her father was fatally shot when she was just a newborn. She spent years in foster care, and since age 19 has essentially been homeless: bouncing between relatives, group homes and shelters.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>A Trunk-Sized Safe Space\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>A year ago, Jones had a bed in a transitional home for former foster youth. She explained she lost that spot when she broke the rules, letting a guest in when she wasn’t supposed to.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Since then, she sleeps where she can: couches and floors when they’re offered, buses and BART trains when they’re not. She always carries a change of clothes, laundry detergent and toiletries.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A few weeks ago, Jones stayed up all night on a San Francisco pier, and a week before that at a 24-hour Carl’s Jr. When that happens, she heads to a BART station by 4 a.m., to catch the day’s first train. Aside from a friend’s apartment, it’s the only place she feels safe actually falling asleep. A few hours later, she wakes and drags herself off, eager to avoid the stares of the rush-hour crowds.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[contextly_sidebar id=”qX6cO3dkrSWbMdIuXgcrvh51LvzEiRWM”]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After graduating from high school in Antioch, Jones wasn’t convinced college was for her. Instead, she came to the conclusion gradually while working overnight jobs as a security guard or grocery stocker. Years went by, but she never advanced financially or professionally.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I wanted to go to college to better myself, honestly,” Jones said. “I want to be in a totally better situation. I know school is the key.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Jones calls \u003ca href=\"http://www.laney.edu/wp/\" target=\"_blank\">Laney College\u003c/a>, near Lake Merritt in Oakland, one of her “safe zones.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This semester she is taking an English class and a life-skills class. As a low-income student, she receives a monthly food stipend for the campus cafeteria. But none of her classmates know she is homeless.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Jones has another safe zone: a stuffy storage locker no bigger than a car trunk in industrial West Oakland. She’ll spend a few hours a day there doing homework, organizing her belongings or writing in her journal.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Moving Forward\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>As more colleges and universities gain an understanding of the scope of housing and food insecurity among their students, they’re experimenting with solutions. Some campuses have established \u003ca href=\"http://www.sacbee.com/news/politics-government/capitol-alert/article41478480.html\" target=\"_blank\">food pantries\u003c/a>, and others provide short-term housing for students in crisis, or those who have nowhere to go for the holidays.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In September, California enacted new laws to assist homeless college students. Community colleges, for example, must grant homeless students priority when registering for classes, allow them \u003ca href=\"http://www.mercurynews.com/2016/09/21/governor-signs-bills-to-help-homeless-college-students-and-boost-4-year-graduation-rates/\" target=\"_blank\">access to campus showers\u003c/a> and designate a staff person to assist them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Students are also organizing: UC Berkeley now has a Homeless Student Union, and in October two UCLA students opened the Bruin Shelter in Santa Monica for anyone enrolled at UCLA or other schools.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>James de la Nueve, a civil engineering student at Santa Monica College, is one of the shelter’s first residents. He was kicked out of his house after a family fight, and said the shelter helps keep him focused.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I’m trying to be on the academic track,” he said. “I’m not trying to continue being on the streets forever.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Rashida Crutchfield at CSU Long Beach likes the idea of a college shelter, but said it’s not enough. If she were a student, she said, “It’s important to maybe catch me before I’m homeless and make sure I’m getting the financial support that I need, or getting access to support services that I need.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11211588\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11211588\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/12/RS23255_IMG_2158-800x600.jpg\" alt=\"Residents and volunteers study at the Bruin Shelter, a new shelter for homeless college students in Santa Monica.\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/12/RS23255_IMG_2158-800x600.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/12/RS23255_IMG_2158-160x120.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/12/RS23255_IMG_2158-1020x765.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/12/RS23255_IMG_2158-1920x1440.jpg 1920w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/12/RS23255_IMG_2158-1180x885.jpg 1180w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/12/RS23255_IMG_2158-960x720.jpg 960w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/12/RS23255_IMG_2158-240x180.jpg 240w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/12/RS23255_IMG_2158-375x281.jpg 375w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/12/RS23255_IMG_2158-520x390.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Residents and volunteers study at the Bruin Shelter, a new shelter for homeless college students in Santa Monica. \u003ccite>(April Dembosky/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003ch2>Internal Support\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>For Brittany Jones, the daily search for shelter is an awkward social tiptoe.

She’s acutely conscious of her hygiene.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I don’t feel like just because I’m homeless that I have to look the part,” she said, while walking by a tent encampment under a freeway in Oakland.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Yet Jones grew up at great risk for homelessness: Her mother died when she was 5, and her father was fatally shot when she was just a newborn. She spent years in foster care, and since age 19 has essentially been homeless: bouncing between relatives, group homes and shelters.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>A Trunk-Sized Safe Space\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>A year ago, Jones had a bed in a transitional home for former foster youth. She explained she lost that spot when she broke the rules, letting a guest in when she wasn’t supposed to.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Since then, she sleeps where she can: couches and floors when they’re offered, buses and BART trains when they’re not. She always carries a change of clothes, laundry detergent and toiletries.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A few weeks ago, Jones stayed up all night on a San Francisco pier, and a week before that at a 24-hour Carl’s Jr. When that happens, she heads to a BART station by 4 a.m., to catch the day’s first train. Aside from a friend’s apartment, it’s the only place she feels safe actually falling asleep. A few hours later, she wakes and drags herself off, eager to avoid the stares of the rush-hour crowds.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After graduating from high school in Antioch, Jones wasn’t convinced college was for her. Instead, she came to the conclusion gradually while working overnight jobs as a security guard or grocery stocker. Years went by, but she never advanced financially or professionally.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I wanted to go to college to better myself, honestly,” Jones said. “I want to be in a totally better situation. I know school is the key.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Jones calls \u003ca href=\"http://www.laney.edu/wp/\" target=\"_blank\">Laney College\u003c/a>, near Lake Merritt in Oakland, one of her “safe zones.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This semester she is taking an English class and a life-skills class. As a low-income student, she receives a monthly food stipend for the campus cafeteria. But none of her classmates know she is homeless.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Jones has another safe zone: a stuffy storage locker no bigger than a car trunk in industrial West Oakland. She’ll spend a few hours a day there doing homework, organizing her belongings or writing in her journal.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Moving Forward\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>As more colleges and universities gain an understanding of the scope of housing and food insecurity among their students, they’re experimenting with solutions. Some campuses have established \u003ca href=\"http://www.sacbee.com/news/politics-government/capitol-alert/article41478480.html\" target=\"_blank\">food pantries\u003c/a>, and others provide short-term housing for students in crisis, or those who have nowhere to go for the holidays.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In September, California enacted new laws to assist homeless college students. Community colleges, for example, must grant homeless students priority when registering for classes, allow them \u003ca href=\"http://www.mercurynews.com/2016/09/21/governor-signs-bills-to-help-homeless-college-students-and-boost-4-year-graduation-rates/\" target=\"_blank\">access to campus showers\u003c/a> and designate a staff person to assist them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Students are also organizing: UC Berkeley now has a Homeless Student Union, and in October two UCLA students opened the Bruin Shelter in Santa Monica for anyone enrolled at UCLA or other schools.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>James de la Nueve, a civil engineering student at Santa Monica College, is one of the shelter’s first residents. He was kicked out of his house after a family fight, and said the shelter helps keep him focused.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I’m trying to be on the academic track,” he said. “I’m not trying to continue being on the streets forever.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Rashida Crutchfield at CSU Long Beach likes the idea of a college shelter, but said it’s not enough. If she were a student, she said, “It’s important to maybe catch me before I’m homeless and make sure I’m getting the financial support that I need, or getting access to support services that I need.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11211588\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11211588\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/12/RS23255_IMG_2158-800x600.jpg\" alt=\"Residents and volunteers study at the Bruin Shelter, a new shelter for homeless college students in Santa Monica.\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/12/RS23255_IMG_2158-800x600.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/12/RS23255_IMG_2158-160x120.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/12/RS23255_IMG_2158-1020x765.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/12/RS23255_IMG_2158-1920x1440.jpg 1920w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/12/RS23255_IMG_2158-1180x885.jpg 1180w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/12/RS23255_IMG_2158-960x720.jpg 960w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/12/RS23255_IMG_2158-240x180.jpg 240w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/12/RS23255_IMG_2158-375x281.jpg 375w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/12/RS23255_IMG_2158-520x390.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Residents and volunteers study at the Bruin Shelter, a new shelter for homeless college students in Santa Monica. \u003ccite>(April Dembosky/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003ch2>Internal Support\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>For Brittany Jones, the daily search for shelter is an awkward social tiptoe.

Navarro wanted a public apology but said Harding would not do it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Harding said he told Navarro it was an unfortunate circumstance that played out in public but it was not an apology.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I don't think the district mishandled the situation,\" said Harding.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Navarro said it all started about three weeks before the Nov. 8 election when he gave a historical lesson on Hitler's rise to power in Germany from 1930 to 1933 and compared it to Donald Trump's platform.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Adolf Hitler said he'd make Germany great again. Donald Trump said he's going to make America great again,\" Navarro said. \"Hitler focused on the Jews as the great peril of Germany, and Trump focused on the Muslims and talk about a registry and keeping Muslims out of the country.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Navarro is an expert on the Holocaust and has studied at the International Center for the Study of the Holocaust in Jerusalem. The 65-year-old was also named a Mandel Fellow for the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum in Washington, D.C.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After the lesson, Navarro said the principal came to him and said the parent of a student sent an email and was put off with his Trump/Hitler comparison.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I told him it would be beneficial to all involved if we sat down and kicked around the history,\" Navarro said. \"We could do it over coffee. I offered to do it with the parent, and I was greeted with silence.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Then, two days after the election, Navarro said he was asked to come to the principal's office with a union representative. At that point Navarro said the assistant superintendent read him the parent's email but wouldn't let him see it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The parent said in the email that I said Donald Trump is Hitler and that Trump hates Jews, Mexicans and African-Americans,\" Navarro said. \"And I countered I would never say that because it was sloppy historical thinking.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Navarro said there were also other accusations that he had never heard anything about.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I was also accused of feeding propaganda to my students and real bias, and then I was quickly informed I was on leave. I was to leave the campus immediately,\" Navarro said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Navarro said he was told he would likely be returning to campus the following Wednesday after an investigation, including interviews with students.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At this point, Navarro doesn't believe there was an investigation because the students left school an hour after he left campus and they had Friday off for Veterans Day. He was back on the job Monday after the superintendent called him over the weekend.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Harding said it didn't take long to question students or Navarro and that was completed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Navarro had been considering retiring at one point, but said he was planning to put it off for a couple of years because he loves the exchange with students.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Since the election of Trump, Navarro said these are perilous times for teachers in the classroom.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I would hope that no teacher self-censors, and I would hope that the administration looks carefully at what is being said before they move on somebody,\" Navarro said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It's clear Navarro still loves being in a classroom, and will be a reluctant retiree in June. But he said it's hard for him to accept the lack of respect for his job as a teacher.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"After 40 years, don't I deserve a little more?\" Navarro said.\u003c/p>\n\n",

Navarro wanted a public apology but said Harding would not do it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Harding said he told Navarro it was an unfortunate circumstance that played out in public but it was not an apology.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I don't think the district mishandled the situation,\" said Harding.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Navarro said it all started about three weeks before the Nov. 8 election when he gave a historical lesson on Hitler's rise to power in Germany from 1930 to 1933 and compared it to Donald Trump's platform.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Adolf Hitler said he'd make Germany great again. Donald Trump said he's going to make America great again,\" Navarro said. \"Hitler focused on the Jews as the great peril of Germany, and Trump focused on the Muslims and talk about a registry and keeping Muslims out of the country.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Navarro is an expert on the Holocaust and has studied at the International Center for the Study of the Holocaust in Jerusalem. The 65-year-old was also named a Mandel Fellow for the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum in Washington, D.C.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After the lesson, Navarro said the principal came to him and said the parent of a student sent an email and was put off with his Trump/Hitler comparison.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I told him it would be beneficial to all involved if we sat down and kicked around the history,\" Navarro said. \"We could do it over coffee. I offered to do it with the parent, and I was greeted with silence.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Then, two days after the election, Navarro said he was asked to come to the principal's office with a union representative. At that point Navarro said the assistant superintendent read him the parent's email but wouldn't let him see it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The parent said in the email that I said Donald Trump is Hitler and that Trump hates Jews, Mexicans and African-Americans,\" Navarro said. \"And I countered I would never say that because it was sloppy historical thinking.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Navarro said there were also other accusations that he had never heard anything about.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I was also accused of feeding propaganda to my students and real bias, and then I was quickly informed I was on leave. I was to leave the campus immediately,\" Navarro said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Navarro said he was told he would likely be returning to campus the following Wednesday after an investigation, including interviews with students.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At this point, Navarro doesn't believe there was an investigation because the students left school an hour after he left campus and they had Friday off for Veterans Day. He was back on the job Monday after the superintendent called him over the weekend.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Harding said it didn't take long to question students or Navarro and that was completed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Navarro had been considering retiring at one point, but said he was planning to put it off for a couple of years because he loves the exchange with students.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Since the election of Trump, Navarro said these are perilous times for teachers in the classroom.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I would hope that no teacher self-censors, and I would hope that the administration looks carefully at what is being said before they move on somebody,\" Navarro said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It's clear Navarro still loves being in a classroom, and will be a reluctant retiree in June. But he said it's hard for him to accept the lack of respect for his job as a teacher.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"After 40 years, don't I deserve a little more?\" Navarro said.\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

But I don’t have much time because I might move to Mexico.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Villalpando leans in closer. \"Know that I’m here and you can talk to me, OK?\" she says. \"Let’s breathe together, OK?

Many identify as Mexican, even when they, and often their parents, are U.S. citizens.

But now this fear seems different to me, because not only is it governmental, but it could be anybody around you that may not agree with you. So it feels so much more personal.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It feels more personal in part because a couple of weeks before the election, graffiti was splattered over the walls of the school with the words “Build the Wall Higher” and “Trump 2016.” Some kids were so upset they didn’t want to come to school the next day.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Still, the graffiti gave Villalpando a powerful lesson to teach her students. Two days later, community members lined the sidewalk outside the school, welcoming the kids with posters that said things like, “There are no walls in Windsor.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"So I took that upon myself to ask them, what kind of things do we do for others?\" Villalpando says. \"And they came up with lists: Open the door for others, write thank-you cards, pick flowers for someone we love, just smile ... so we turned it around and we did something positive with it.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11180353\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-11180353\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/11/RS22133_IMG_20161115_103234-qut-800x600.jpg\" alt=\"Rosa Villalpando keeps a childhood picture in her classroom.\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/11/RS22133_IMG_20161115_103234-qut-800x600.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/11/RS22133_IMG_20161115_103234-qut-160x120.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/11/RS22133_IMG_20161115_103234-qut-1020x765.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/11/RS22133_IMG_20161115_103234-qut.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/11/RS22133_IMG_20161115_103234-qut-1180x885.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/11/RS22133_IMG_20161115_103234-qut-960x720.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/11/RS22133_IMG_20161115_103234-qut-240x180.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/11/RS22133_IMG_20161115_103234-qut-375x281.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/11/RS22133_IMG_20161115_103234-qut-520x390.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Rosa Villalpando keeps a childhood picture in her classroom. \u003ccite>(Zaidee Stavely/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Those lessons about community and kindness are coming in handy after the election.

She's proud of a student who wrote in his journal, \"We have a new president, but I know if it is Trump, we could work together, 'cause all of us are the same. And we know that we could 'cause all of us are human.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It’s such a great time to be a teacher,\" Villalpando says. \"It is our place to show them love and show them acceptance, of course, every day, but right now when they need it the most, that security. Just the open forum. Some people may think it's maybe doing too much, but I think it’s just important. We can’t pretend it’s not happening.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some parents say Villalpando's approach seems to be working.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The children’s stress has gone down a lot,\" mom Patricia Figueroa says. \"It’s not like when it first happened when they would come home really worried. So I think the teachers are doing a really good job.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Even so, she says, her daughter still comes home and asks her, \"Mommy, are you going to have to go to Mexico?\"\u003c/p>\n\n",

Their teacher, Rosa Villalpando, pulls him aside to check in. Sobbing, he tells her that, as a result of the presidential election, he’s afraid he’ll have to move to Mexico. Some kids on his street won’t play with him anymore, he says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"They won’t let me because they’re like, 'You’re a different color from us. Since Trump’s president, we can’t play with you,' \" he explains between sobs. \"And my friend is moving to Canada, and other friends are going to Mexico. I want us to stay here and play with them. But I don’t have much time because I might move to Mexico.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Villalpando leans in closer. \"Know that I’m here and you can talk to me, OK?\" she says. \"Let’s breathe together, OK? You ready?\" The two take long, deep breaths together, and the boy slowly calms down.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cdiv class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__shortcodes__shortcodeWrapper'>\n \u003ciframe width='100%' height='166'\n scrolling='no' frameborder='no'\n src='https://w.soundcloud.com/player/?url=https://api.soundcloud.com/tracks/293729327&visual=true&color=ff5500&auto_play=false&hide_related=false&show_comments=true&show_user=true&show_reposts=false'\n title='https://api.soundcloud.com/tracks/293729327'>\n \u003c/iframe>\n \u003c/div>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some children at this Spanish-English dual immersion school in Sonoma County have been anxious since the primary election, crying in class or complaining of stomach aches.

Many identify as Mexican, even when they, and often their parents, are U.S. citizens.

But now this fear seems different to me, because not only is it governmental, but it could be anybody around you that may not agree with you. So it feels so much more personal.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It feels more personal in part because a couple of weeks before the election, graffiti was splattered over the walls of the school with the words “Build the Wall Higher” and “Trump 2016.” Some kids were so upset they didn’t want to come to school the next day.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Still, the graffiti gave Villalpando a powerful lesson to teach her students. Two days later, community members lined the sidewalk outside the school, welcoming the kids with posters that said things like, “There are no walls in Windsor.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"So I took that upon myself to ask them, what kind of things do we do for others?\" Villalpando says. \"And they came up with lists: Open the door for others, write thank-you cards, pick flowers for someone we love, just smile ... so we turned it around and we did something positive with it.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11180353\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-11180353\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/11/RS22133_IMG_20161115_103234-qut-800x600.jpg\" alt=\"Rosa Villalpando keeps a childhood picture in her classroom.\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/11/RS22133_IMG_20161115_103234-qut-800x600.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/11/RS22133_IMG_20161115_103234-qut-160x120.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/11/RS22133_IMG_20161115_103234-qut-1020x765.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/11/RS22133_IMG_20161115_103234-qut.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/11/RS22133_IMG_20161115_103234-qut-1180x885.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/11/RS22133_IMG_20161115_103234-qut-960x720.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/11/RS22133_IMG_20161115_103234-qut-240x180.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/11/RS22133_IMG_20161115_103234-qut-375x281.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/11/RS22133_IMG_20161115_103234-qut-520x390.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Rosa Villalpando keeps a childhood picture in her classroom. \u003ccite>(Zaidee Stavely/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Those lessons about community and kindness are coming in handy after the election. Villalpando comes back to the list on the wall again and again, to remind her students that even if we don't agree, we are a community that supports each other. She wants them to know that they are part of this country. She's proud of a student who wrote in his journal, \"We have a new president, but I know if it is Trump, we could work together, 'cause all of us are the same. And we know that we could 'cause all of us are human.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It’s such a great time to be a teacher,\" Villalpando says. \"It is our place to show them love and show them acceptance, of course, every day, but right now when they need it the most, that security. Just the open forum. Some people may think it's maybe doing too much, but I think it’s just important. We can’t pretend it’s not happening.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some parents say Villalpando's approach seems to be working.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The children’s stress has gone down a lot,\" mom Patricia Figueroa says. \"It’s not like when it first happened when they would come home really worried.

One winter when he was back home in Oakland from his freshman year of college up in Chico, he knocked on the door of his barbershop. He wanted a local haircut to show off when he returned to school. Before he could get inside, though, he heard gunshots and felt a piercing pain in his buttock. He'd been shot.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He survived, but the recovery took almost two years. Then he was shot again, this time at a party in Oakland. A stray bullet hit him in the back right shoulder, where it remains today.

He fell to the ground, sitting in his own blood, thinking \"Is this true? This can’t be happening right now.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This time he was shot with nine bullets, again by someone he did not know.

During her internship years ago at the SFGH Trauma Center, she stitched up a 16-year-old who'd been violently injured, only to see him return some weeks later with even worse injuries.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Dr. Dicker started to look at violent injuries as a public health issue. \"Unless you go upstream a little bit to figure out ways to prevent future injury,\" she says, \"you’re really not putting a lasting effect on the idea of improving population health and improving individuals.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>With that, Dicker created the Wrapround Project in 2006. The program literally provides \"wraparound\" services like mentorship, job training and even getting clients their favorite foods. The program serves 10- to 30-year olds who end up at SFGH.

One winter when he was back home in Oakland from his freshman year of college up in Chico, he knocked on the door of his barbershop. He wanted a local haircut to show off when he returned to school. Before he could get inside, though, he heard gunshots and felt a piercing pain in his buttock. He'd been shot.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He survived, but the recovery took almost two years. Then he was shot again, this time at a party in Oakland. A stray bullet hit him in the back right shoulder, where it remains today.
