Hello Cougars,

I’m the inclusion teacher here at Crocker, and it’s the perfect job for me. I’m all about inclusion. I believe that we need everybody, and I work every day to help all of our children be their best selves within the broader community. I grew up in the Grand Lake neighborhood of Oakland, attended local schools and graduated from Cal. If you see me around, I’m always happy to talk about bicycles, origami and the musical saw.

-Mr. Ponder
