Leading the Way to Improve Learning and Teaching Conditions
Mara Harvey is proud to champion student voice, educator empowerment and the role of public schools in strengthening democracy. She became a high school social science teacher in 2002 and earned her administrative credential and master’s degree in School Leadership in 2016. She found her true calling in union work; her passion for advocacy led to her being bargaining chair, then president of Natomas Teachers Assn. Harvey has been a driving force in the community schools movement and helped the California Department of Education shape the Seal of Civic Engagement.
Fun fact: Raised in a bed and breakfast in the same area she now represents, Harvey spent her formative years meeting people from all over the world.
