We are excited to highlight Ms. Ludford, our 7th Grade ELA Teacher, for the month of October!

Mr. Ludford’s colleagues wrote…

“This colleague is the epitome of dedication and diligence. Their use of questioning techniques demonstrates a remarkable ability to engage students actively. Their commitment to scholars' success is evident in the individualized attention and support they give to each scholar in their classes. The consistently high academic performance among students in their class demonstrates the positive impact of their teaching on scholars learning outcomes.”

“This colleague has put 110% effort into everything they do in their time at Valence. They are a rock star! I admire how far they are willing to go to make the content accessible for all students. In addition, this teacher goes above and beyond to get to know the students' interests and cultures, and incorporates this into the classroom. The drive and determination this person has shows in their interactions with scholars. They give the tough speeches when they need to be had, and they are always a no-nonsense nurturer. I appreciate how safe and loved the students feel with this teacher.”

Congratulations!
