Teacher Assistant Ron Brouillette<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

One of the many new faces at Pueblo Magnet High School this school year is Mr. Ron Brouillette, who is a teacher assistant for Ms. Rebecca Baltos, an exceptional education teacher.<\/p>\n

He is a graduate from the University of Arizona and Columbia University, and he earned a PhD in international development administration, focusing on exceptional education with an emphasis on deafness.<\/p>\n

Brouillette applied for a Fulbright scholarship, which allowed him to move to Africa for 25 years, opening schools for the deaf.<\/p>\n

\u201cAfrica was so wonderful, the people were natural and joyful,\u201d Brouillette said. \u201cI opened schools for the deaf to get them into school.\u201d<\/p>\n

Brouillette grew up with a deaf brother, inspiring him to dedicate his life working with people who are in need of special assistance.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy brother taught me about disabilities,\u201d he said. \u201cI lived with him and lived through him, and I felt the struggles he endured.\u201d<\/p>\n

After 25 years in Africa, Brouillette returned to Tucson to support his daughter, who is attending the U of A. He added that it was at this time that he applied for the job here at Pueblo as a teacher\u2019s assistant.<\/p>\n

He said that Ms. Baltos helps him guide and support any of the students\u2019 needs.<\/p>\n

\u201cWorking with Ms. Baltos has been a true delight,\u201d Brouillette said. \u201cShe\u2019s a real pro and knows what she is doing.\u201d<\/p>\n

He paused and added, \u201cThese kids [at Pueblo] are smart. They just need a little push, and I\u2019m the one who will give them a little nudge in order to help them live a successful life.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
