Alternative Education Educator Looking For Opportunities

Beginning with the 2017-2018 academic year I am looking for a new challenge.

A bit about myself.

  • I am a UK trained primary school teacher
  • I have taught English, Literature and Psychology up to GCSE (age 16) level; worked at Summerhill School for five years as a Teacher and Houseparent; am a Third Culture Kid; have an MEd in Politics, Development and Democratic Education from University of Cambridge; built a few tree houses; currently teach Grade 4 at the United Nations International School in New York; am a founding member of play:groundNYC; and wrote a chapter for the Palgrave International Handbook of Alternative Education.

I would like to work with primary/elementary aged children in an alternative setting and am open to combining this with other responsibilities within the school. I am a German citizen, so visa requirements might apply for some countries.

Please get in touch (pklaus13@gmail.com) if you think I might be the right person for your school or project.

Alternative Education Research Project Needs People.

Do you live in the New York City Metropolitan Area? Are you ages 13-25? Would you be interested in sharing your experiences in alternative education programs and discussing topics such as inclusion, accessibility, interaction, and how education programs could work for you? I am conducting a research study on the experiences of students with disabilities in alternative education programs. If you are interested in participating or for more information, please contact me at emily.brooks@spsmail.cuny.edu. Thanks!
