 Jonelle PenaButte County Personalized Learning Teacher Area Coordinator Educator I love working for CORE. We have the best opportunities for students in every avenue of scholastics, and options suited to every learning style. It makes our job a joy. Every day we witness students being challenged, taking responsibility for their own learning, and vesting themselves in the process. Learning becomes relevant to their own interests, and they thrive. |

 Debra MoonButte County Personalized Learning Teacher I came to work at CORE because I believe it is important to meet the individual needs of students in order to give them the best education possible. I also believe that the community we live in is an important resource for education, and helps keep school relevant and exciting to students. The community is there for us, and it is prudent, cost effective, and stimulating to use the resources offered in each community for the education of students as needed. My values are reflected at CORE. It has been a welcome change for me to teach at a school that operates in harmony with my philosophy. There are many things I love about CORE, but most of all I enjoy seeing students succeed with us who were not succeeding in their former school settings. We really can make a difference in student's lives. |
