Adina Cooper.
|
Adina graduated from Barnard as a Sociology major in May 2014 and completed her student teaching in the Fall of 2015. She has been involved in various social-justice-related educational programs and welcomed the opportunity to learn about bringing social justice into the classroom through mathematics and other subjects. In 2014, she took Math and the City in the Barnard Education Program, from which she gained a lot, especially from the in-service elementary school teachers who also participated in the course. She looks forward to continuing to learn about the current contexts of STEM education.
Adina Cooper currently lives in Harlem and is excited too be teaching fourth grade math in the upcoming school year. This will be her second year as a teacher and she will be returning to the Bronx Charter School for Better Learning. This past summer, she had the exciting opportunity to participate in the program Friends Beyond Borders in the Dominican Republic for professional development. |
