My teaching "manifesto":
Teaching humanities is my greatest passion! I work to instill in my students a love of reading, writing, and critical thinking that goes beyond the classroom.
I am passionate about inclusive classrooms that bring a wide range of students together, where we can all learn from each other and enrich each other's lives. I believe that all students can achieve academic success and become life-long learners, regardless of their backgrounds or their learning needs.
As a teacher, I focus on core reading, writing, and critical thinking skills that prepare students for college-level studies. However, I also believe that we all learn best when learning is social and enjoyable. To that end, I take creative and discussion-based approaches to teaching and I infuse classes with students' interests wherever possible.
My credentials:
✅ State certified and tenured English Language Arts and special ed teacher
✅ Masters in teaching English in grades 7-12 from Fordham University
✅ Masters in teaching Students with Disabilities in grades 7-12, also from Fordham University
✅ 120-hour TESOL certified
My teaching experience:
✅ 12 years of teaching experience, both online and in schools
✅ 6 years in New York City public schools
✅ Courses taught:
↳ ELA, grades 7-12
↳ AP Literature and AP Language & Composition
↳ Inclusive classrooms
↳ Self-contained classrooms
↳ ESL classrooms
My related experience:
✅ Published content writer for podcasts; fiction and nonfiction writer
✅ Instructional Design Coach for university professors (helping them to design effective online courses)
Lastly, some other tidbits about me:
💫I'm fluent in Spanish and I'm now working on my Portuguese.
💫I play violin, piano, and guitar, and I love to sing and song-write for fun.
💫I have a curious cat named Madame George (Georgie for short) who often comes to class!
