Pearl Alamshaw

Hello!
My name is Pearl Alamshaw and my students call me Ms. Pearl. I teach the Primary Autism Class, K-2, here at Marion Earl. I started working here as a Teaching Assistant, and am beginning my fourth year as a licensed Teacher. I grew up in Canada and received my Bachelor of Arts Degree in Psychology from Carleton University, in Ottawa. I also recently earned my Master’s Degree in Special Education with an endorsement in Autism, from UNLV. I have been married for 23 years and have two amazing sons who are now 18 and 19. Since getting married, I have lived and worked in three different states, as well as in Canada. I have been working with neurodiverse children in various home and school settings for over 25 years. It is truly my passion! I learn as much from my students as they do from me. My belief as a teacher is to “Always Presume Competence”. I highly value working together with parents to help ensure that each and every child reaches his/her maximum potential.

Hello! I'm Claire McGartland. This is my sixth year at Marion Earl and my eleventh year teaching. I received my undergrad at Eastern Illinois University and Masters at Western Governors University.
I was born in Arizona, but lived most of my life in a suburb of Chicago. My husband and I have a daughter named Finleigh. We love going to country concerts and when it's nice out, we love going on family walks and bike rides.
I am so excited for another wonderful year here at Earl!

Hi! I am France Pablo. I was born and raised in the Philippines. I have my 5-year teaching experience in my home country as a Special Education teacher and I have started my teaching journey here at Marion Earl last February 2021.
Working with kind-hearted and supportive staff and having a contribution to the success of my students here is really a great privileged. I am proud to be part of Eagle Family!
I love to travel, outdoor activities, and water adventures.
Let's all make learning fun and meaningful for this school year!

Hi, my name is Kaylanie Velarde. This is my 10th year as a Special Education teacher with CCSD. I have taught at Marion B. Earl for 8 years. I was born and raised in California in a small town near the border of Mexico. I received my Bachelor of Arts from the University of Nevada, Las Vegas and received my Masters of Exceptional Children from NOVA Southeastern University.
I am a wife, mommy to two little sweet peas, 8 years old and a newborn, and a fur momma to two little pups. In our spare time, we enjoy going to the movies, mini golf, and eating out. I look forward to serving our Marion B. Earl community
