    ALL ABOUT MS. ZAVALA

    My name is Suzy Zavala and I was raised in La Puente, California. I have taught in LAUSD for 31 years in Pre-Kindergarten, Kindergarten, first grade and third grade. I attended Loyola Marymount University where I received my Bachelor of Arts Degree in European Studies with an emphasis in French. I spent time in Paris, France as an exchange student where I was fortunate to attend the University of Paris, Sorbonne. In 2018 I achieved National Board Certification as an Early Childhood Generalist. I enjoy travel, coffee, spending time with family and friends, and seeing smiles on children’s faces!

    Teaching Philosophy

    I believe that the school experience should nurture social-emotional skills in each child and create joyful school memories. Following a model based on the Constructivist approach, I believe in the following things.

    -Respectful, caring bonds with children and their families are vital for a wonderful school experience.

    -Each child has unique strengths and various levels of language learning experiences. 

    -Instruction should be differentiated to provide challenge and support for all children to build on success.

    -Rich experiences should be provided in language, mathematics, the sciences, the arts and storytelling.
