Rice University recently recognized Ross Sterling Middle School AVID (Advancement Via Individual Determination) Teacher and Campus Site Coordinator Takara Badrock with this yearรขโ‚ฌโ„ขs Extra Yard Award.
 
Through Riceรขโ‚ฌโ„ขs partnership with the College Football Playoff (CFP) Foundationรขโ‚ฌโ„ขs Extra Yard for Teachers initiative, Ms. Badrock was surprised with the announcement and a $1,000 Michaels gift card during a visit on September 14. Representatives from Rice University, including the school mascot รขโ‚ฌล“Sammy the Owl,รขโ‚ฌย presented Ms. Badrock with the award.
 
When it comes to teaching, Ms. Badrock sees it as an opportunity to give back.
 
รขโ‚ฌล“I enjoy serving this community because Humble ISD allows me to be innovative while inspiring students to take control of their educational destiny,รขโ‚ฌย Badrock said.
 
As a child, teaching was a career goal for Ms. Badrock, but she had to overcome hurdles.
 
รขโ‚ฌล“I used to pretend I was a teacher when I was a little girl,รขโ‚ฌย Badrock said. รขโ‚ฌล“I was never a straight-A student, but always felt like I could have been motivated to reach my highest potential.รขโ‚ฌย
 
Ms. Badrock never had a role model to motivate her. It wasnรขโ‚ฌโ„ขt until she was a college student when she found her niche for studying and began earning better grades. Thatรขโ‚ฌโ„ขs why she believed it was her calling to teach in Humble ISDรขโ‚ฌโ„ขs AVID program.
 
รขโ‚ฌล“AVID would have been a perfect fit for me when I was a student,รขโ‚ฌย Badrock said. รขโ‚ฌล“I would have had both academic and social support.รขโ‚ฌย
 
Humble ISDรขโ‚ฌโ„ขs AVID District Coordinator Christie Huseman nominated Ms. Badrock for the award.
 
"Her dedication does not go unnoticed," Huseman said. "The role of an AVID teacher and coordinator is complex.รขโ‚ฌย
 
Ms. Badrock is charged with holding unwavering high expectations, while providing the academic, social, and emotional supports needed to reach those high standards.
 
รขโ‚ฌล“I nominated Ms. Badrock because she does not see her position as a job; it is a calling,รขโ‚ฌย Huseman said. รขโ‚ฌล“Watching her engage in her calling should motivate all educators to reflect on their own practice."
 
Ms. Badrock is in her 20th year as an educator. Twelve of those years have been spent teaching in Humble ISD.
 
รขโ‚ฌล“Our students and staff look up to Ms. Badrock and all that she does for our school,รขโ‚ฌย Damico Bartley, Ross Sterling Middle School Principal, said.
 
While teaching, she has served in a number of leadership roles such as department chair, lead teacher, summer school coordinator, mentor, and professional development presenter. Ms. Badrock has also served as a curriculum and instruction designer and writer.
 
When asked about her thoughts on being an AVID teacher, รขโ‚ฌล“Itรขโ‚ฌโ„ขs more than just a curriculum or program,รขโ‚ฌย Badrock said. รขโ‚ฌล“Itรขโ‚ฌโ„ขs family and Iรขโ‚ฌโ„ขm honored to provide both academic and social support for my students.รขโ‚ฌย
 
The Extra Yard Award was distributed as part of the CFP Foundationรขโ‚ฌโ„ขs Extra Yard for Teachers Week, a nationwide celebration of teachers, led by the CFP Foundation within the platform of college football.
