Her high expectations inspire her students to achieve their best, making her a truly outstanding educator.

“She regularly hosts group discussions in her class, encouraging students to share their thoughts and opinions. By actively listening, acknowledging their ideas and fostering respectful dialogue, she creates an inclusive environment where students feel valued and safe expressing themselves. This practice not only builds relationships but also promotes critical thinking and empathy among her students. She also sent me a message telling me exactly what my son shared! It warmed my heart!"
