Hello and welcome to another great year at Steuart W. Weller Elementary School. I am Shannon Cornell one of the ESL teachers. This is my third year teaching at Steuart Weller. I teach the ELL kindergarten students, and this year, I also will be working with 2nd and 4th grade classess. I am very excited to work with your child this year.

I attended Edinboro University of Pennsylvania and received my Bachelor of Science degree in Elementary/Early Childhood Education with a specialization in mathematics. In addition, I earned my endorsement in English as a Second Language through George Mason University. Currently, I am enrolled in American College of Education and working towards a Master's Degree in Curriculum and Instruction.

I look forward to a great year!

Souada Baioul - Assistant

Ms. Souada Bailoul comes to us from Morocco, where she received her Master's Degree in Psychology in 1993. She is happy to have realized her dream of being a teacher, the dream that always tickled her emotions. She taught for two years at the Morocco Institute of Technology. She traveled to Saudi Arabia where she taught for one year in middle school. When she came to the United States, she worked with children of all ages for ten years. After this experience she decided to advance her skills so she registered at NVCC to get my CDA(Child development associate degree) and become a professional in the early childhood field. Becoming a teacher has made her realize how truly important her role to the kids is. She understands that their future depends on what we teach them everyday.
