💡Staff Feature of the Week! 💡
Each week, we'll feature one of our staff members here at The Ville that contributes to students academic success and helps shape their path here at Somerville! This week is Van Derveer Elementary School and Mrs. Melanie Scott!
Mrs. Scott is a Special Education teacher of the Multiply Disabled K-2 class at Van Derveer Elementary School in Somerville. She has helped mentor upcoming seniors looking to join the education field through the Tomorrow's Teacher program in 2022-2023 school year. She has also helped mentor fellow teachers. Mrs. Scott is a teacher of students with different disabilities in one classroom where she differentiates her lesson plans to fit and meet the IEP requirements of all her students educational, emotionally, and physically. This requires a lot of flexibility and "go with flow" mentality on a daily and hourly basis. Mrs. Scott enjoys teaching all her students, helping to mold their minds for their greatest future potential. She looks forward to working with tomorrow's teacher students this year and many more years to come to help mold more amazing teachers to help teach our future.
