According to Science department chair Greg Bays, Krabbe is the type of educator who, “works harder than any teacher I have ever seen. She understands the needs of her students and differentiates their instruction to best fit the needs of all students in the classroom.” He describes her as a teacher whose students “are able to reach a deep level of content mastery.” Finally, Krabbe “is truly one of the nicest and most caring teachers I have encountered.
