ACCOMPLISHMENTS:
As Community Superintendent, and throughout my career, I have pursued excellence and the highest standards in both my educational life and my professional life, marked by scholarships and awards. I brought innovation to my classroom as well as to the assessment, gifted, and bilingual programs I supervised.
During my tenure as Deputy Superintendent for Curriculum, Instruction and Professional Development and more recently as Community Superintendent, Community School District 3 progressed from last rank in literacy and numeracy to rank 10 and 11 respectively out of 32 school districts on the annual New York City/New York State standardized assessments. I supervised a $100 million annual budget (including $10 million in competitive grants) for 33 schools, which comprised 1,000 employees and 15,000 students.
I received the Upper Westside Chamber of Commerce Education Award for Excellence in 2004 and I have been appointed to the prestigious Children’s Book Committee at the Bank Street College of Education.
On Saturday, April 26, 2008, I was honored by Fordham University and the Fieri Organization at an annual luncheon for “Excellence in Educational Leadership”. I received the “Community Leadership Award”.
In the Fall of 2010, I was nominated and elected as a Committee Member for The Woodrow Wilson-Rockefeller Brothers Fund Fellowships for Aspiring Teachers of Color. The work involved reviewing applications, interviewing and selecting candidates for graduate school scholarships. New York University is one of the twenty-seven participating partners in this program.
In January 2011, I was invited by The Bank Street College of Education to review and evaluate their Special Education Program from the perspective of my experience as a Community Superintendent, my familiarity with the New York City and New York State Departments of Education and my recent work as Associate Director of the Office of Clinical Studies at New York University.
On April 25, 2013 I was awarded the 2013 Elizabeth Rohatyn Award for Community Service from the Lenox Hill Neighborhood House, where I supervise student teachers.
