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.
