Cestone's ClassES

The Focus this year:

I will be focusing on teaching Digital Portfolio Skills Development, and assessments where students can demonstrate competency in class. I will give students a monthly roadmap so they can work on time management and calendaring skills, essential to 21st-century workforce readiness and employability. I believe that all students need to learn practical workforce readiness skills, as well as the core competencies for the subject matter: Listening, Speaking, Reading, and Writing for English.

About me

This year I will teach Speech and Debate as well as English Literature for 8th grade. I have taught High School AP Capstone, AP American Literature, European Literature, Economics, Entrepreneurship, and many other subjects. Clubs I have led include Chess, International Club, Travel, Girls Learn International (GLI) and more. I have been all over the globe teaching and learning. I have taught as adjunct, college courses in many subject areas. I enjoy teaching and being a lifelong learner. I have many hobbies: martial arts, water sports, and mountaineering, just to name a few.

I grew up in the Bronx, New York, and in Santa Barbara, California. I went to NYU for my BA, as well as many universities around the world, pursuing my credentials and Master's degrees in Cross-Cultural Teaching and Information Resource Management. I look forward to meeting you and growing with all of you this year.
