                       TRIBUTE TO REBECCA CHILDS

 Mr. RUBIO. Mr. President, today I recognize Rebecca Childs, 
the Levy County Teacher of the Year from Williston Elementary School in 
Williston, FL.
  Rebecca is best described as a hard-working educator who has 
demonstrated capabilities in curriculum and instruction, data analysis, 
and assessment. She is committed to improving the quality of 
instruction and assessment through ongoing professional development and 
reflective teaching practices.
  She serves on the district math and science cadres and facilitates 
the creation of standards-based curriculum maps and district common 
assessments. She develops classroom assessments to monitor student 
learning and provide quality, standards-based instruction to fourth 
grade students. Becky has also mentored both new teachers and interns 
at her school.
  Rebecca graduated from Saint Leo University with a bachelor of arts 
in elementary education and graduated from Florida State University 
with a master of science in educational leadership. She previously was 
a reading coach, kindergarten, first grade, and second grade teacher at 
Joyce Bullock Elementary School. Since 2015, she has been a fourth 
grade teacher at Williston Elementary School.
  I express my sincere gratitude to Rebecca for her dedication to her 
students throughout the years. I look forward to hearing of her 
continued success in her future endeavors.
