Meet Teacher Jamila Iris Edwards M. Ed (she/her), a first-year NBRC Support Program candidate! Jamila earned her teaching credential and Masters in Education from University of California, Berkeley and teaches the 4th and 5th-grade combination class at Sequoia Elementary. Prior to teaching, Jamila worked in the policy and advocacy field, supporting policies to improve the health of children and families. She is mom to Reile, a 9th grader at Oakland Tech, and Kaia, a 4th grader at Sequoia Elementary. Together, they enjoy traveling, eating pizza, and playing card games. When she’s not creating projects and fun lessons for her students, Jamila listens to podcasts, does crossword puzzles, and hikes with her partner, Erin, an art teacher in San Francisco. We are excited to support Jamila in her National Board Certification journey!
