Congratulations to Ms. Larissa Flores: January Teacher of the Month
Eagle Pass Independent School District has partnered with local businesses throughout our city to highlight the Teacher of the Month program, which honors educators who have made a difference in our community. The program recognizes outstanding kindergarten, elementary, junior high, and high school teachers in Eagle Pass, Texas.
January's
Teacher of the Month is none other than Eagle Pass Junior High School's, Ms.
Larissa Flores. Ms. Flores is a passionate, dedicated teacher who not only
provides her students with innovative, challenging lessons, but she also sets
high expectations. She aids her students' achievement of these standards
through consistent communication, positive motivation, and excellent rapport.
Her strong interpersonal skills are evident in how she interacts with her peers
and students alike. She bonds with everyone, and motivates the school as a
whole each and every day.
Ms.
Flores skills have always been on display, but they truly came to light when
she stepped up and led her campus' English Department into a new
technology-based framework. She created a technological framework of the
resources that are needed and has successfully equipped her co-workers with her
knowledge. It is evident that her skills are definitely needed as she has been
sought out for help as she has become a master teacher for Clever, I-Station,
HMH, and Google Classroom. The qualities of her teaching methods are impeccable
and beneficial not only to her own students, but all students that attend
EPJH.
Student
understanding and comprehension is key to Ms. Flores as she molds her teaching
style based on need and personalities. Ego goes out the door and amazingly
adapts to what is best for her students. She demonstrates to her students a
variety of strategies that give them the keys to succeed in not only her class,
but all their classes. For all these reasons and more, Ms. Larissa Flores is
Teacher of the Month.
A segment will appear on iVision throughout the
month of March detailing many more accomplishments of Ms. Flores.
This month she will also appear on community media, news publications and the
EPISD website throughout March 2021. A teacher will be selected each
month through May 2021 for a total of eight (8) honorees. The
“Teacher of the Month” will be chosen based on educational achievements in the
classroom, community contributions and innovative programs and techniques used
by the teacher. The “Teacher of the Month” will receive a certificate of
recognition and will be featured on iVision, local media news, news
publications and radio broadcasting. Additionally, each “Teacher of
the Month” will receive donations from local businesses.
Each T.O.M is receiving a “V.I.T (Very Important Teacher)

real life. She dedicates her time to creating new ways to engage her students.
For example, her lessons are full of TPR activities. Mrs. Yzquierdo is a
tremendous resource that shares her knowledge with her fellow teachers, as the

behavior. She participates in SBDM, UIL, and iVision activities to promote
campus and district initiatives. She promotes parent involvement by
conferencing with parents during and after school hours. She uses all resources
in her realm to make contact to ensure student success. Mrs. Yzquierdo's
infectious personality and desire for students to achieve all they can has
