My name is Barbara Juarez, and I am the TSA (Teacher on Special Assignment) at Madera Adult School. Even though that is my official position, I still consider myself the school counselor. I have a teaching credential, a Pupil Personnel Services credential, and Masters’s in Administration, and an administrative credential. My first love is and always will be a school counselor. I have taught elementary and middle school. I have also taught at the adult school (which I thoroughly enjoyed). I was a counselor at the high school level for 15 years. I am currently working at Madera Adult School as the TSA, and I truly love working here with the adult population. When they come to the adult school to get their diploma, they are coming because they want to, and they come with purpose and determination. The older students that come here realize the importance of their diploma and therefore are here with a purpose. I worked in the private sector for about 20 years while raising my family, and now that I am back in education, I am happy to be working here at Madera Adult School and so blessed to be working with the people I am working with.
