Hi Everybody.

I'm Joe Weisberg. I teach U.S. History and Literature at the Summit School in Queens, a special ed high school for students with emotional/behavioral disabilities. This is my fourth year there, and I love it, although this being June, I'm burning out fast!

I'm not sure how long I've been at Bank Street, but I'm definitely taking the slow road, one course per semester. My goal is to finish my degree before I retire.

I love leading groupwork as a teacher! I see my students learning about how to interact with people - an area that is a weakness for a lot of them - and I feel like I'm doing something worthwhile. As a student, though, I have to admit I struggle with groupwork. I like to work at my own pace (often very fast), and I like to prepare but also wing it (in a good way). These things can be hard in a group. That being said, don't be scared to work with me - I'm easygoing, and happy to find a happy medium with fellow group members.
