My name is Stephanie Kaplan. I am a student at Bank Street in the Childhood Special Education Program. I graduated from Hofstra University last May with a B.A in Spanish and a certification in General Childhood Education.
I always knew I wanted to become a teacher. I have such a passion and desire to work with children and am eager to share my positive experiences in education with my students. This past summer I worked as a summer school teacher in Yonkers, NY teaching 2nd grade bilingual students. Currently, I am a 3rd grade assistant teacher at the Rippowam Cisqua school in upper Westchester County.
I have thoroughly enjoyed my first year at Bank Street and am looking forward to taking this Social Studies course. I am interested in building on what I already know as well as ways to enhance a Social Studies curriculum.
Looking forward to working with you all!

Hi Stephanie,
ReplyDeleteI used to teach 6th grade at Ripp! BTW, say hi to Susan Hurley for me, She's so wonderful and I miss her. And, when I was first married I lived in Yonkers and worked at the Hudson River Museum,,and worked closely with PS 25. Cisqua has a strong curriculum and wonderful teachers. You will learn a lot there!
Take some time to read and respond to some of the people on this blog. Many have jobs with similar age groups to you. Groups will have to be set by the middle of our first week. I would much prefer you coming to me saying who you want to work with, than my having to assign teams.
Let me know,
KK
