Marla was able to meet the needs of a very diverse group of learners. Her instructional strategies were founded on a literacy-rich environment that emphasized the importance of the four components of learning a language (reading, writing, listening and speaking.) A snapshot of her classroom was of children engaged in a variety of activities that included many instructional best practices. She often used music to accompany her unique teaching style.
She was a friendly colleague, who easily built strong and lasting relationships with her
students, parents and colleagues. She contributed above and beyond her classroom duties by participating over the years in additional committees and coaching.
Marla was a pleasure to work with and observe grow professionally.
