January 2024: Heidi Anderson, Teacher, Adult Living Skills, Davis
Heidi was nominated by one of her peers who said: “Heidi recognizes the individual needs of students and staff on a daily basis. Over the past 9 years, there are many instances where she has shown dedication beyond her daily class schedule. I have seem her work effortlessly and stay student-centered at all times — always with a smile and a helping hand. As a team member, Heidi always makes me feel valued, supported and appreciated.
Last July, a student graduated from the Adult Living Skills program and became a direct hire to a partnered worksite. That is a huge testament to Heidi! It was amazing to see the growth and dedication from Heidi and the ALS team for this student. They provided job coaching, work experience, mock interviews, teaching, mentoring and support to this student—which resulted in a high five YES moment for everyone.”
Please help us congratulate Heidi for a well-deserved acknowledgement of her outstanding efforts and supporting our students with special needs in Yolo County!
