“Nadia’s personal commitment, empathetic nature, intellectual curiosity, organizational skills, analytical ability, and motivation signal great potential to take on even bigger roles as a leader of equity, social justice, and inclusion in our educational system." "While I have worked with many excellent educators over the years, Nadia has truly distinguished herself as a leader and a thinker. With an unwavering commitment to ensuring that we have an educational system that reaches and engages every child, she has been unafraid to wrestle with challenging educational issues.” “Nadia’s passion for students and the community, her commitment to breaking down barriers and fostering an inclusive and supportive teaching and learning environment, her innate ability to understand and connect with those around her - from students to state policymakers, and her drive to dismantle educational inequities and shape the system in which she lives and works make her a strong candidate.” “I am impressed with Nadia’s ability to analyze and make sense of very complex educational policy issues, with probing questions, data analysis and secondary research. She also had an innate ability to draw connections between wonky policy issues and the experiences of teachers, students and families - translating complex issues into simpler, more palatable language.” “Nadia demonstrates the mindset that systemic problems facing students and school districts cannot be solved in isolation, but must stem from an authentic collaboration of stakeholders from across the community. She is a thoughtful and committed educator and leader, who would bring her vision, enthusiasm and intellect to any position she took on.” “I have tremendous admiration for the body of work Ms. Razi has produced at the site and district level. Her professional expertise in the areas of curriculum, school culture and climate, and equity and social justice are unrivaled. Nadia’s demonstrated moral imperative to advocate for the underserved and her compassion, work ethic, and attention to detail are outstanding.” “Nadia consistently ensures that a solid plan is thoughtfully developed and implemented, timelines are maintained, and that equity and social justice always prevail.” “Nadia is one of those professionals you never forget. In her time with our district she will leave an impact that we will be challenged to continue making. She really challenged and taught staff to challenge their understanding and knowledge of bias and advocated to her administrators to be sure that staff are provided opportunities to continue learning and evaluating their educational practices.” “Ms. Razi has proven herself as an exemplary educator and instructional leader. Her scholarship and work ethic are highly valued and greatly appreciated. She cares deeply about students and provides many opportunities for them to excel.” “She is amongst the best of the best!”
