Teaching
​

I believe that education as a field is intellectually-based, yet action-oriented and therefore has the potential to have tremendous individual and social impact.  

I love teaching future educators.  I continually work on my pedagogy so that Brooklyn College graduates in Childhood, Bilingual and Special Education are exemplary teachers.  I hope that my practice is a model and starting point for my students' teaching. 

Below find a snippet of me modeling the components of a lesson to a group of undergraduates.
