“As the Instructional Resource Coordinator at the College of Southern Maryland, Dr. Rose Marie Codling was effective at assisting students in reaching new and improved educational heights. Whether a student was a scholastically accomplished STEM Scholar or a student trying to connect the dots of basic fundamental concepts, time spent with Dr. Codling would assuredly prove rewarding. I sincerely believe that she measures her success by the success of those whom she serves. Dr. Codling’s genuine desire to see students succeed coupled with her overwhelming compassion for others is undoubtedly a winning combination.”

“Dr. Codling has been instrumental in helping improve my son’s reading level and grade in the first and second grade. Brian was reading below his grade level both years. After talking with Dr. Codling, Brian was tutored twice a week and improved his reading skill and began reading at grade level. Brian received reading improvement awards in first, second, and third grade. Dr. Codling also provided us with reading techniques to use at home and impressed upon the importance of Brian reading at home every day.”

“One of Dr. Codling’s best traits is actively “listening” to what you have to say and then putting an individual learning plan together to help you meet your goal(s). She is very systematic and very detail oriented when working with students. She is a wonderful role model and actually practices the behavior(s) she expects her students to demonstration.”

“Ms. Codling shared strategies and tools that really made me a better teacher. While my education and experience were important to my subject knowledge, my only teaching knowledge was drawn from my days as a student. I believe my skill as an instructor improved measurably, student outcomes or grades and attendance improved and, the class room became a more productive and enjoyable experience for the student and for me.”

“Thank you again for taking time out of your schedule to join us at the faculty meeting yesterday, and for offering your services as a reading specialist to our instructors. I had a lot of fun completing the summarizing activity, and I saw a lot of nodding heads in the room — I’m sure that lesson will get a lot of use this semester! It was a terrific session over all, and I’ve already gotten emails from instructors mentioning your activity as one of the highlights. Thanks again!”
