Summary

-8 Intervention Specialist (Multilingual), I collaborate with and contribute to inspire a growing team of elementary and middle school teachers. I write original, blended curricula; in ELA, Math, History, Black Studies, College & Career Readiness and foster school building teacher-leader liaisons. As I too, believe in a curriculum steeped in a fresh, living, newfound academia; not devoid of, but inclusive of layered instruction surrounding the Human Condition. Quotidian scholar-led, and critically thought- provoking discussions, contribute to the designing of a school’s curriculum- as it is LIVE; and indicative of an educational scope, to which students can assist in rearing. If society’s youth are tasked with ‘re- imagining it [i.e., life] better’ right now; one can conclude, present-day school leaders looking to ‘get it right’ by re-envisioning how public schools execute a free and appropriate education; in a post-pandemic world is least of all- urgent and evolving. My sense of urgency is apparent via the pride and enthusiasm I glean from teaching and learning from my students; especially, as per the relationships I work diligently to foster and forge with not only avant-grade instructional tools and fresh assessments- but additionally, regarding my commitment to my school's mission statement. Necessary conversation bounces back and forth; especially, between school buildings and influential community leaders. Folks from all walks of life, seek dependability in the schools’ infrastructure, and peace-of-mind from well-intended leaders. When conflict arises from all that transcends textbooks and computer screens; I want to collab with your charter in reclaiming what is every community’s right- a chance to educate oneself, to create the niche each graduate will consider with careful thought and deep reflection, the opportunity to chisel and carve. My credentials include NYS Certification in TESOL- ALL GRADES (i.e., ENL/ROLL), as well as an accompanying master’s degree in Teaching English as a Second Language to Other Language Learners [TESOL], from the Graduate School of Education, at Manhattanville College. From the same graduate school, I am state certified, with an MPS (and/or master’s degree in Professional Studies) in School Building Leadership [SBL]. I have a Bachelor of Arts Degree in English, from Ithaca College, and a BA in Politics. Equipped with nearly a decade and a half worth of experience as an inner-city, public-school teacher-leader; and three plus years teaching, leading, and learning internationally- an invaluable asset to your scholastic partnership I’d immediately prove to you and our team. Upon hire, I will become indispensable to the learning organization, invaluable to the team administrators, a worthy program coordinator; however, of equal importance, I will be a resourceful, woke soldier of support to the teaching faculty, and staff. The learning organizations’ safety and functional prowess if in place; can work to augment and celebrate unpredictable teachable moments- as well as support teachers’ academic freedom to push the margins and confines of instruction… in the name of differentiated, supplemental instruction. Ultimately, I teach students, teachers, families and community members to respect all moving parts of the learning organization; as one piece does not exist in successful isolation, of the other. As a teacher-leader I work both, under and alongside the members of the learning organization- inclusive of spirited collaboration. It is rewarding to serve the school building leader(s)- however, more productive to work towards balancing the partnership based on the areas of academic programming and/or school building infrastructure, which need immediate attention versus issues of concern that need thoughtful conversation, reflection, and then, a solution. A quick fix, or a detailed plan for how to get to where the learning organization must exist; is one I share responsibility in developing, turn-keying and, model upon execution. I model when leading adults, as I would do when teaching my students; especially since, I value all faculty and staff, as we are all human beings. I want the chance to contribute to and mold your (hopefully our) team, and hone my zeal and energies into a partnership, that empathizes with communities, and acknowledges the critical need for schools to be open; as to assist in combating Life’s hardest lessons: regaining momentum, while maintaining as highly functioning and consistent; academically and organizationally. I would appreciate the opportunity to communicate meaningfully with you, and with your team.
