As a retired teacher aiding as a part time volunteer at Marcola Elementary School I have observed that the teachers and staff are well trained, dedicated and caring professionals. The teachers I have observed are proficient with and consistently use the best teaching strategies. They are aware of and efficiently meet the needs their students as individuals. The evidence of their efforts are shown in the results of standardized testing that shows each grade to consistently be above Oregons average in all academic areas. When funding is made available to improve or replace the structural facilities Marcola Elementary will be a superior school in all areas.
