Sandra Serafin

Experienced in designing and evaluating curricula during graduate studies, ensuring alignment with Texas standards through the use of backward design principles. Proficient in interpreting student and course performance metrics, with a strong skillset in educational data analysis. Possessing a solid foundation in the UbD framework and culturally responsive pedagogy from graduate training, eager to bridge theory and practice to support BISD goals in ELA and SS.

 As a candidate for the Reading Language Arts and Social Studies Coordinator position, I bring hands-on experience across four grade levels (1st–5th) in both general and bilingual settings, along with a Master’s in Curriculum (specializing in Reading Instruction) to be completed in August 2024. My deep understanding of Bridgeport ISD’s needs is demonstrated through my collaborative work revising RLA unit templates, mentoring new teachers, and implementing innovative strategies—such as student-selected reading goals—that helped 80% of my first-grade students achieve year-end literacy benchmarks. With this foundation, I am eager to apply my expertise in curriculum design, data-driven instruction, and teacher support to advance Bridgeport ISD’s mission at the district level.
