<\/a>On the first day of the 21st<\/sup> Century (Jan. 1, 2001), Ms. Sarah Barnes, one of the most visibly new employees at Pueblo High School this school year, arrived in Tucson from the East Coast, serving as a multi-tiered systems facilitator to help teachers learn new strategies to help increase our students\u2019 test scores\u2014as well as boost the overall morale at Pueblo.<\/p>\nLate last semester, Barnes was the primary speaker for our entire student population during a cohort meeting, stressing responsible cell phone behavior and other important social media advice.<\/p>\n
\u201cI want to get to know everybody at Pueblo,\u201d Barnes said. \u201cI want to know our students, the teachers, work with administrators and I want people to ask questions because I have a lot of questions to ask. In the short time that I\u2019ve been here, I can tell that this school has a heart and soul.\u201d<\/p>\n
Barnes was born in Delaware in 1977, and while visiting Tucson, she fell in love with the weather, so she transferred from the University of Delaware to the University of Arizona.<\/p>\n
\u201cMoving here [to Tucson] was like getting out of jail,\u201d Barnes said. \u201cIt was liberating to get out of Delaware for many personal reasons.\u201d<\/p>\n
She explained that education was not her first choice for a career. In fact, Barnes said that she studied criminology and even considered joining the police academy.<\/p>\n
\u201cSomehow my focus changed to education when I met somebody who suggested that I become a teacher,\u201d Barnes said. \u201cThat somebody was our assistant principal Frank Rosthenhausler.\u201d<\/p>\n
She taught math for more than a dozen years before becoming interested in becoming a multi-tiered systems facilitator.<\/p>\n
\u201cI want to be a positive influence at Pueblo,\u201d Barnes said. \u201cI\u2019m here for just about everybody\u2014especially our students. But, I want teachers to know, too, that I wholeheartedly support them in every way possible.\u201d<\/p>\n
Barnes helps recognize students\u2019\u2014and teachers\u2019!\u2014perfect attendance this school year, printing achievement certificates for them.<\/p>\n
\u201cEverybody is a star at Pueblo,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
