In this story, we hear from Dr. Victor Rios, the former high school student featured in the videos highlighting Teacher Stories’ partnership with Above & Beyond Teaching.
Once on a troubled path, Victor credits a teacher with helping him turn his life around and see a different future for himself. Now a professor, he reflects on the power educators have to transform lives and help young people recognize their own potential.
He also explores how the Black Lives Matter movement can inspire learning, connection, and deeper conversations in the classroom.
