I have spent over 31 years as a master classroom teacher and worked as a science teacher, assistant principal, and principal, in both yeshivas and public schools. This is in addition to working as an instructor, deputy chair, and Chair of Education programs at Touro College. My experience in the field and in classrooms has provided me with educational expertise and a perception of what is really happening in our schools.

I have used this valuable professional experience to train future teacher candidates with a real life understanding of what it takes to be a successful teacher.
