New Innovations has had numerous positive responses about its various programs. This website will outline a few comments from educators and parents.

Former students have said the following:

• "Hello Mrs.mark, I don't know if you remember me or not you are a former teacher of mine at lantana elementary about 13 years ago. I was in the 3rd gradeclass of 98 99, your first class. I was actually talking to a resident at the nursing home I work at who is a former teacher about the teacher who made the biggest impact in my life and started talking about you and the different ways you taught our class by using songs and how I learned so much that way. Just the way you taught each subject and how the whole class excelled. You to this day are still my favorite teacher and the one I remember the most. I still remember the first song you taught our class was how to spell the word awesome. I moved away the summer after third grade, fourth grade was actually a bore for me because you had already taught me what they were learning in fourth and I would tell the teacher some of the songs you had made up to go with lessons and she would use them in her lessons. But after talking to this resident it made me want to try to find you and let you know what an inspiration you were as a teacher and how much of an impact you made in my life" Cati Schaffer

  • Dear Mrs. A. Wells Mark,
    I am writing this note to let you know that your Word Song CD and charts have been a miracle worker in my ESOL classes.
    One of my First Grade students was cited as being a non-reader. This same child after three weeks with sections I and II was noted to be in level 7 in his Reading Running Records book. This in November 2004 placed him on grade level.
    In another instance, one of my Third Grade students shocked me and Mr. Rivil, our language facilator, when he asked to spell and could spell the words in all sections in just three weeks.
    Just letting you know that your strategies really do work.
    I know that I will be reporting even more achievements from my students because of the Word Song, CD, and charts.
    Thank you very much,
    Ms. C. Ward
    !! AND THE BEAT GOES ON!!
