Math Teacher
I am a 7th and 8th grade Math Teacher at Ebbets Field Middle School. My aim is to equip students with the tools to become problem-solvers and independent learners. Math is often seen as a challenging subject but I believe all students are capable of being successful with Math. Students respond well when they are able to make connections between their academic encounters and cultural backgrounds. As such, I have challenged myself to establish a culturally responsive classroom environment for ALL of my students.
ICT Teacher
I am Giselle Cortes, I am a Special Education teacher in a Team Teaching classroom. I believe students learn best when they have opportunities to work together--exchanging ideas and points of view. I focus on a lot of peer collaboration in my practice.
English-as a-New Language Teacher
I am an ENL teacher with 10 years of experience in Middle School. My strength is effectively delivering integrated and stand-alone services for ENL students. I work closely alongside the English Language Arts teachers to add scaffolds to support ENL students. I also pull students in small groups; these sessions focus on remedying and building specific language acquisition skills. I believe ENL students learn best through social immersion and discussion in a culturally responsive environment. This school year, I will continue to use Advance Literacy and Socratic practices to frame instruction. I plan to advocate for wider use of the Imagine Learning program in tandem with I-Ready for emerging ENL students.
NEST ICT Teacher
I think there are certain things that must take place first so a child can learn. In my classroom I start with setting structure and direction for everything I do. Whether it is co-planning and executing a lesson with other teachers or facilitating student instruction-- I find that maintaining structure and clear direction yields success.

ICT Social Studies/Science Teacher
I am a Special Education teacher with experience in the self-contained and integrated team teaching settings. My strength is in small-group and targeted instruction. I utilize explicit models of teaching to engage students and deliver instruction. I believe students learn best through doing. An effective curriculum is centered on the experiential. Cross-curricular projects and activities should be commonplace in the classroom with an equal focus on process and outcome.
Social Studies Teacher
I am a Social Studies teacher for grades 6-8 students. Our focus is on the Eastern Hemisphere for Grade 6 and the United States for the 7th and 8th grades. My philosophy stems from a firm belief that it takes a village to raise a child. In essence this means that if all parties involved in the education of a child are fully committed, every child can learn successfully.
Physical Education/Health Teacher
I am a Physical Education and Health teacher here at Ebbets Field Middle School. I believe students learn best when they can clearly see the idea or physical movement and can explain or demonstrate it. The explicit model is the best way to deliver instruction in Health and Physicial Education.

I am a Special Education teacher with a specialization in English Language Arts. I have experience working with students with disabilities and general education students. My strength is scaffolding for student-led instruction and small heterogeneous grouping. By doing so, I employ the "I do, we do, they do" model through activities that inspire discussion and stimulate critical thinking/learning. I strongly believe the best tool for student learning is collaboration and differentiated instruction. This year, I plan to have each student create a digital narrative weaving together transferable skills learned throughout the school year.
