Proud to provide our 11th graders with a meaningful learning experience from Carl Wilkens, the only American who remained in Rwanda during the 1994 genocide. His message about empathy and the power of everyday choices strengthened our commitment to constructive civil discourse.

I had a great time presenting 'Grade Like an AP Reader' at the Long Island Council for the Social Studies (LICSS) Conference! The session focused on helping AP History teachers sharpen their scoring skills, give meaningful feedback, and better support students as writers.

Honored to speak at the Interfaith Institute’s 10th Anniversary Gala about the Multifaith Forum I helped bring to Bellmore-Merrick and now to Three Village. It is an initiative that enriches curriculum and deepens students’ understanding of world religions.

Carl Wilkens, the only American to remain in Rwanda during the genocide, educated students in BMCHSD. His firsthand account transcended textbooks and lectures, emphasizing the transformative power of empathy and individual action in the face of adversity.

@Calhoun Leadership Class students visited Birch Elementary 5th graders to create a lasting impact by addressing the difficult topic of hate speech. They covered constructive ways to have dialogue, empowering the students to be agents of positive change. Congrats to all involved!

Cultural awareness is again in focus today in the BMCHSD as it is @CalhounHS’s turn to host the multi-faith forum bringing leaders from around LI to talk with students about the belief systems to which most in the area subscribe. We could not be more proud of these efforts.

Such a great day presenting and learning at @LIASCD conference.

I am so pleased to share that I successfully defended my dissertation earlier this week!

These community readers from Bellmore-Merrick attended a Lakeside PARP Week event to read to students in the @MerrickUFSD. Nice to connect with these future Rams and Cougars!

Leadership students Sophia Jones and Nickolas Mascary read “MLK & LI” by Allison Singh to Beth Finnegan/ Carly Sacco’s 9th grade Global History class at @CalhounHS. The book discusses Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.’s visits to Long Island in the 1960s.
