She has had great success in helping students develop their literacy skills both in English and Spanish. Last year she implemented a self-monitoring system for students to track their own learning progress in math and reading. She has also implemented parental involvement programs to support parents in incorporating practical strategies at home to help their children learn. She looks forward to sharing her passion and knowledge with her new Pink family!

He has the ability to build solid relationships with kids and deliver creative and engaging lessons.

She was instrumental in organizing and directing a 50+ member choir at Glover. The choir performed on and off campus throughout her five years at Glover. Ms. Simien also currently provides private piano and music theory lessons to students ranging from 5 to 15 years old on a weekly basis. Finally, her peers and supervisors at Glover commented that she is able to present creative ideas that both students and parents enjoy. She tackles all assignments professionally and with a smile.
