Mrs. Jo Claire Marshall
I am so excited to be beginning my 20th year of teaching here at Discovery! I was born and raised in Franklin, Virginia (about an hour west of VA Beach) and graduated from James Madison University with a Bachelor’s Degree in Communication Sciences and Disorders, focusing on both audiology and speech pathology. During my last year in Harrisonburg, I began working specifically with preschool special education classes and fell in love with the children and classes I worked with. After college, I decided to move to Virginia Beach, where my parents had relocated, and earned a Master’s Degree in Early Childhood Special Education from Old Dominion University. My husband’s job brought my family to Loudoun County during August 2015. I have taught in Chesapeake, Virginia Beach, a regional autism program in Hampton Roads, and Loudoun & Fairfax Counties. Although I have taught K-4 in the past, preschool is the age I love the most and have spent the most time teaching.
I met my husband, Matt, while working through grad school, and we recently celebrated our 18th wedding anniversary this past summer. We live in Stone Ridge with our three sons, Benjamin, Elijah, and Andrew, and our dog, Callie. Our boys all play baseball and when we are not at the field, I enjoy spending time with my family, running/exercising, crafting, gardening, reading, and cooking.
