In 2015, Farhat won the Governor’s award for innovative teaching with his Basic Skills Boot Camp and unit on Rhetorical Analysis. He joined the district’s Vanguard team, coaching teachers on implementing technology in their learning practices. Students can come to his classroom, take any ELA class and finish at their own pace with the ability to complete their studies anywhere they have wifi. Farhat’s mentor, Dr. Jones, taught him to always advocate for students despite the adversity they faced and inspired him to developing this curriculum for ELA students.
