Michele Clark has been an interventionist and teacher at CME for the past seven years. Her collegiality and intelligent work have made her an asset to our mission. In her current position as an interventionist, she designed innovative programming to serve the needs of a diverse student body, including a project-based math class and a maker space. The project-based math class is designed to provide instruction to a group of 6th-grade students who better access the curriculum through hands-on learning. Her makers-space is designed to service a newly identified group of students at CME who are advanced in their Productive Thought and Creativity, a category of giftedness recognized by the state of Colorado. These students are thriving in the new environments created by Michele. We are lucky to have her at CME.
