CT Has a New Milken Educator ... Manuel Zaldivar!

 

 

First-grade teacher Manuel "Manny" Zaldivar is overwhelmed by the realization that he is Connecticut's newest Milken Educator. Before arriving at Smalley Academy, Zaldivar taught at Family Life Academy Charter School in the Bronx (New York). He arrived at Family Life Academy during a challenging school-restructuring transition and quickly became a steady, valued team member, transforming his grade-level team into an effective unit.
