Life-Changing Teaching Award Nominee
MATTHEW CALZADILLA
REDLAND MIDDLE SCHOOL
STUDENT RECOGNITION STORY
Mr. Calzadilla is a very fun and energetic teacher! He shows a lot of excitement into what he teaches and also makes many students have a lot of fun when he teaches because he teaches in a way that makes learning fun which is a incredible feat for a teacher. During his class he makes many students laugh because the style he teaches students, he loves what he does a lot, makes many students get into history and generally civics and tries his VERY best to help students. He gives some extensions to assignments which really help and whenever tests comes up he focuses and really helps students “lock in” by his words (I.e focus a lot) and help students understand the material being taught. Before his class I didn’t really like history but now I do, it’s a very interesting subject that he made me like! Not to mention, he’s very interactive with students, he does a lot of fun stuff in his class (personally I’d say his class is in the harder side but fun and gets easy over time). In summary, he’s a teacher that makes learning a somewhat difficult topic very simple, he’s energetic and overall a really great teacher!
