Dr. Marlyn Young

     Welcome! With 29 years of dedicated experience in education, I am passionate about fostering academic success and growth for all students. My journey began in 1995 as a 6th grade Reading, Language Arts, and Social Studies teacher. During my time in the classroom, I developed and implemented innovative reading programs designed to meet the diverse needs of learners. These programs utilized technology to differentiate the curriculum, ensuring that struggling students could find success and providing gifted students with additional enrichment opportunities.

     Recognizing a broader need within the educational system, I transitioned into the field of Curriculum and Instruction. In this role, I trained educators across various districts on effective curriculum development and strategies to address the needs of diverse student populations. My career has seen me take on numerous roles, including Instructional Coach, TAP Master Teacher, Assistant Principal, Principal, and Behavior Coordinator.

     Currently, I serve as a principal in a central Texas School District. My doctoral degree in education, specializing in Special Education, focused on interventions for students diagnosed with emotional disturbances and providing support to educators working with these students.

     As an educator, I aim to inspire students to create their own learning experiences and develop critical thinking skills within a learner-centered environment. Open communication is essential for student success, and I strive to maintain an inclusive and supportive school atmosphere.
