Maintaining high expectations for each student, teaching with multiple learning styles as a guide, and using her own experiences and hobbies as a resource, Ms. Boles devises real world lessons for her students, including those who are struggling to learn. A student states, "Ms. Boles supports us personally and educationally, not to mention encouraging us to strive for success. But, most of all, she gives us the feeling of everything is possible."
