Meet Ms. Nina DeSantis (pictured right), RHS Teacher of English Language Arts and Ramapo College of New Jersey cooperating teacher.
Why it matters: Our partnerships with universities help grow the teaching field and establish a direct pipeline of future educators. In addition, our cooperating teachers benefit from additional professional learning and opportunities to reflect on the elements of quality instruction.
What they’re saying: “This is my second year as a cooperating teacher. Working with prospective teachers has been incredibly rewarding, especially at this phase of my career. I am in my 24th year at RHS and can't believe how fast the time has gone!
I am not only helping develop the future members of my field, but I am also learning so much from them. I feel honored to be a part of the Ramsey-Ramapo collaboration and am so excited for this school year!” - Ms. Nina DeSantis
👏Thank you, Ms. DeSantis, for lending your expertise as a mentor, model, and instructor for emerging teachers!
