The Home Stretch
From preschool, to curriculum work, to primary education, my career has made some turns but my passion for the ECE field stands strong. Working as a kindergarten teacher in suburban northern New Jersey, I have been privy to a wide range of policy challenges that directly affect the families in my care, as well as the communities I work around. I am thrilled to be in the final stages of my studies, working now to deepen my knowledge of the tools available to me as an advocate and future policy shaper. I look forward to getting to know each of my new colleagues, and growing together!

This is a small world. I teach Kindergarten in an urban northern New Jersey school district. There have been many times that I had to advocate for my students and their families in the class setting. My ultimate goal is to become an advocate who makes a real difference in the lives of many others outside of the classroom. I look forward to sharing this journey with you as well.
ReplyDeleteTiming is fun, I am writing this reply as I am waiting to board a plane to Newark (heading to Maplewood).
ReplyDeleteSo many poeple think advocacy is a distinct role in the the early childhood field, but you are correct, teachers and parents are the first advocates for students.
