County Teacher of the Year
Aptos resident Russell Bryan Love is the Santa Cruz County Teacher of the Year. He is the lead teacher at New School Community Day School, which has a mission to help students in the Pajaro Valley Unified School District accept responsibility for their actions, believe in themselves and learn to set and achieve goals. The motto is: “Never give up.” Love started there as a teacher and coach in 2010 and became lead teacher in 2015, specializing in science, biology, and physical education. His main teaching credos, hewn from his own academic beginnings and experiences raising his three sons, are: Learn
by Doing, Learn Together, and !No Aburrimiento Permitido! (No Boredom Allowed!) He created New School’s Outdoor School & Character Development program, now in its seventh year and 12th iteration, behind those philosophies and New School founder Don Eggleston’s belief that “students aren’t supposed to sit still in classrooms for six hours a day.” As coach of beach volleyball, basketball, soccer and now flag football, Love has led the New School Aztecs to 14 Monterey Bay Alternative Schools Athletics League championships in as many years. ... continues on page 4
