In her own words…
“Education
is not one size fits all. It’s about fostering learners to develop critical
thinking skills in content areas, developing communication, creativity, and
collaboration to prepare students for the future. “
In the words of others . . .
“Irma
excels in the classrooms. She sets high expectations for herself and her
students. She sets a tone of academic achievement, regardless of the child and
where that child is with their learning. Irma meets each child where they are
and challenges them to be the best they can be both as learners and as people.”
–Joyce Olson, Pine Shadows Elementary Principal
“Irma
challenges herself as an educator. She is not afraid to face a challenge to try
new instructional practices. She steps forward on campus a leader frequently,
whether it be as a team leader, providing parent support, or teammate support.”
–Lisa Dolce, Pine Shadows Elementary Instructional Coach
