In her own words: “After 19 years of teaching, I still have the same enthusiasm and appreciation of classroom teaching that I had as a college freshman. I believe that giving my time, talent, experience and energy to students, parents, co-workers and future teachers is my greatest contribution to teaching.”
“I strive to promote a warm, inviting classroom where each student takes ownership of his or her learning experience, and is inspired on an individual basis to succeed at each task.”
“I believe students learn best when they are motivated to learn through an interactive classroom environment. Students are more likely to pay attention and learn if they are given opportunities to present what they have learned in a variety of ways.”
In the words of others: “I love Mrs. Franson because she is all about love.”
“She sings and dances in class when we are doing science and math.”
