Ben is as passionate about theater and art and literature as he is about football and sports and is as sensitive and sentimental on the football field as he is tough in the classroom. He is constantly working on both his curriculum and instruction, striving to provide rigorous as well as authentic and meaningful engagement opportunities in his classroom and in Manual’s theater program. He also runs an incredibly inclusive boys’ varsity football program where he focuses on character development as much as he does fitness. He advocates for equity in the building and most recently played a huge role in the re-development of the Humanities department writing rubric to be better aligned with our grading for equity practices. Ben is someone both students and adults turn to in the building for advice, support, a laugh or a happy hour after a long work week. He says he doesn’t know how he does it all, but he knows the more he puts in the more he gets out. #BHM2023 #blackexcellence #BlackHistoryMonth #DPSBlackExcellence #teacherfeature #ManualHighSchool

Hear from Wes and Grant about what bullying prevention looks like in DPS as well as resources for parents. “When it comes to social media in the bullying prevention world, we think of it as a location.

At Denver Public Schools, we believe in the power of bilingual education. Research shows that when given the opportunity, Spanish-speaking students perform better in bilingual classrooms. In addition to maintaining their Spanish language, they also learn English faster and with more proficiency.
Spanish-speaking students at over 50 DPS elementary schools are able to receive bilingual instruction. Many of these students continue to develop their bilingualism through the Spanish courses offered at our Secondary schools to ensure they graduate with the Seal of Biliteracy. Learn more about our K-5 bilingual programs options here.
