Irazema Treviño—LQHS’ bilingual paraeducator—was recognized with the 2022 B.E.S.T. award by the Riverside County Office of Education.
B.E.S.T Award stands for Bilingual Educators Succeeding Together and the leaders of the California Association for Bilingual Education organization presented the award to Treviño.
“The award ceremony went well and I was honored and excited to see a lot of well-deserving people who work so hard in helping out our bilingual community,” she said.
Since 2014, as a bilingual paraeducator at LQHS, she assists all kids who are Spanish speaking from all grade levels. She helps them with strategies on how to succeed in English written courses, such as history, science, English, and on occasion, will help with math as well.
“It is such an honor that someone recognizes the hard work that is needed for our EL students and the support they need,” she said.
Before the high school, Treviño got her start at a pre-school. She always knew that she wanted to be a teacher with a specialization in English or history. Those two courses are what she studied in college.
Treviño even wanted to work in the field of speech therapy, as that’s where she fell in love with what she does in education.
