  Antioch University New England

  Graduate Studies

  I earned a Masters in Elementary Education K-6 and a Waldorf Certification at Antioch University New England (Keene, NH). I enjoyed my studies immensely. I applied for and was awarded a Boyer Scholarship. Antioch does not employ a traditional grade point average system, however if they did my GPA would have been comparable to my 3.988/4.0 GPA at Montclair State University.I researched a variety of schools and chose to complete my studies at Antioch with a student teaching placement at The Waldorf School of Princeton, New Jersey. I went through an extensive interview process that included sample lessons in a variety of classrooms and was hired to teach third grade for the 2015-16 school year. I successfully completed teaching fourth grade with the same class of students for the 2016-17 school year. Show less
