Mariana Robles has been named a Master Teacher by the National Education Association.
Robles, who teaches first grade at Hawthorne Elementary School in Riverside, was one of nearly 100 teachers who recently received that recognition, according to a published report.
She will work with other master teachers throughout the United States to develop lesson plans and ways to improve classroom management. That work will be available for free online, according to the report.
Robles has taught for 19 years, mostly in the Riverside Unified School District. She helped bring the ARTECH program to Hawthorne Elementary, which mixes art and technology into learning.
The association’s master teachers will create more than 14,000 lessons, all of which will focus on either kindergarten through fifth grade mathematics or kindergarten through twelfth grade language arts, according to the report.
