Paul Gerber is a sixth and seventh grade english humanities teacher  at Oyster-Adams Bilingual School.

Mr. Paul Gerber came to Oyster-Adams Bilingual School four years ago after spending five years teaching in New York City and abroad in Colombia and Mexico. Mr. Gerber comes from a family of teachers and cites his own tenth grade teacher as the inspiration for his career choice – “His classroom was a combination of high standards and enthusiasm for the subject. I want to show that to other kids as well.”

At Oyster-Adams, Mr. Gerber has coordinated the annual dance program, which has included ballet and Flamenco classes. He also served on the DCPS Chancellor’s Teachers’ Cabinet during the 2010-11 school year. In his classroom, Mr. Gerber’s high expectations and love for teaching are evident. He encourages students to set a high bar for themselves and challenges them to meet it every day.
