Our Curriculum Development and Classroom Management for Students with Disabilities, Grades 7-12 class is intense. Like a teacher bootcamp! Our teaching candidates are learning how to identify and then refer for evaluation students who may have disabilities, how to prevent unnecessary behavior problems, how to plan and design co-teaching and collaborative work with other teachers, and with the family, and much more. Prof. Laurie Bobley, the Chair of M.S. Degree in Teaching Students with Disabilities, Generalist, Grades 7-12 at #TouroGSE is teaching this course in summer 2020 and is so impressed with her students. #summer #summerschool #teacher #teachercandidate #specialeducationteacher #specialeducation #mastersineducation #teachersofinstagram #curriculumdevelopment #classroommanagement

Meet our new graduate, Evelyn Ramos (Instagram) who got her Master of Science in #TESOL and is a recent inductee to @kappadeltapi International Honor Society in Education. She’s the first in her family to graduate with a Master’s and though she would have loved to graduate with her classmates in the same room, she says, “My living room became Lincoln Center. My family had the best seats in the house. We had a family style bbq and spent the whole day together celebrating this milestone.” She credits Dr. Opstad, Dr. Glassberg, Prof Sabo and Dr. Cowin who really helped her and taught her meaningful lessons. “Teaching is an art or skill acquired. As #ENL teachers, we have a tremendous responsibility and the honor of teaching #ELLs Through classroom experiences, we too grow with our student’s time and time again. My growth as a bilingual language arts teacher has been incredible.” #Congratulations #Classof2020 #graduation #TouroGrad20 #MyTouroGSE #tourogse #brentwoodlongisland #teacher #teachersofinstagram #makingthebestofit #commencement #virtualgraduation #celebrate #kappadeltapi
