About Deirdre
I have a Master of Education in Curriculum Studies (TESL thesis) and a B. Ed. (TESL), a B. Ed. (Ontario Teacher’s Certificate - ESL & English), a New Jersey Teacher’s Certificate (ESL), and a B. A. in English and Psychology. Professionally, I have recently been the Academic Director for an English language school at a Liberal Arts university. I now teach at a local college in Florida as an EAP (English for Academic Purposes) instructor. I have developed and taught TESL courses for Korean teachers and was a department Assistant Reading Coordinator at Brock University in Canada. I have taught many English, Composition, MBA, ESL (Academic, Pathway, Intensive), and TESL courses in the U.S., Canada, Hong Kong, and Greece, from Kindergarten to College. In several positions, my responsibilities have included the scheduling of classes, administration, and evaluation of placement testing, writing curricula, conferencing, advising students, ordering textbooks and reviewing publishers’ textbook manuscripts for content analysis, mentoring and evaluating instructors and student teachers, as well as being part of the hiring process. I have also presented at conferences and workshops, including a ‘Teaching English Abroad’ forum at the Whitehead School of Diplomacy at Seton Hall University. In a multicultural classroom setting, I am well-versed in generating tiered lesson plans, both live and online, and creating materials, projects, and rubrics. I have initiated collaboration with colleagues in curriculum design, material development, and student growth. Being organized and detail-oriented, I am also very comfortable utilizing technology in the classroom and for administrative purposes. I have a positive attitude, apparent in my encounters with colleagues and students. I am a very competent educator with ‘highly effective’ classroom observations and would welcome the opportunity to work with you to reach your educational goals.
