She has great respect for her students by valuing both ideas and opinions as well as their feelings. She is exceptional at creating a very welcoming learning environment for all students. Rachel also sets very high expectations for her students. Teaching at a title 1 school, she realizes the expectations she has for her students greatly affect their achievements.

She provides many opportunities to her students to take on leadership roles.”
