Jaclyn Rosenberg is a native New Yorker. She grew up in Long Island, where she spent a great deal of her time outdoors. Jaclyn has fond childhood memories of attending weekend youth groups and summer camps and strongly believes that these experiences are what taught her how to build lasting friendships.  “As teachers, we constantly tell our students that they need to work together and respect each other in the classroom, but children need the opportunity to put that into practice. It’s outside the classroom, in real life situations, where children  find out what collaborative learning and cooperative play is all about,” Jaclyn says.

 

Jaclyn has been a 2nd grade classroom teacher for over 6 years and has spent the past 10 years working with children in grades Prek-6. She has worked with English language learners and students with disabilities in underprivileged schools.  Her teaching practice is aligned with the Common Core State Standards, while also being interactive and intellectually stimulating. Education through exploration is important to Jaclyn and she is dedicated to finding creative ways to build her children’s literacy skills.

 

Jaclyn holds a Masters degree from Hunter College in teaching English as a Second Language and she has received extensive training from Columbia's Teachers College. After school, she tutors children around lower Manhattan. Jaclyn has lived in Manhattan since she graduated from Indiana University’s School of Education in 2009. She enjoys spending her free time walking her dog around her Tribeca neighborhood and visiting the city’s museums, restaurants, parks and coffee shops!
