I have been teaching at the Quogue School for twenty-five years. I
hold a Bachelor's Degree in Elementary Education and Special Education.
My Master's Degree is in Educational Technology. I continue to study to
keep current of educational trends, changes, and curriculum by attaining
many additional post graduate credits in the field of education.
My goal for Sixth Graders is to engender in them a sense of
empowerment regarding their learning. I aim to actively engage students
in the process of learning; planning and task analysis; and
responsibility for their own achievement. Additionally, students are taught
to work in groups while sharing in the decision making process and
completion of group projects. Students are taught to reflect on themselves
as thinkers and learners in order to arrive at personal goals and strategies
to achieve these goals.
