Welcome All!

Hello, 

My name is Stephanie Camarena di Paola. I am an intern from National University and am currently working at the Academy of Scientific Explorations. I am finishing my coursework for dual credentials in English and Mild/ Moderate Special Education. I hope to finish with all of my courses this fall with both credentials and my M.A. as an Education Specialist.  

I currently teach both English and SDC English. I have six different preps which range from Modern 12th grade literature, to 9th grade ELA. My teaching style is very similar to my personality. I find that students learn better when they try to create something. I find that I try to incorporate content through visual media, power points and graphic organizers, and real life applications. I find that teaching to multiple modalities often allows all students to understand the curriculum. 
Teaching was a career that I often debating on pursuing. I originally wanted to go into writing, but found greater happiness with helping students I tutored during college, and then found work as a substitute teacher. I have had my own classroom since 2009 and am happy that I will be finally be finishing school by this fall.
