New 1-2-3 Teacher Addition

July 9, 2013

 

Cowles Montessori is pleased to announce the appointment of our new 1-2-3 teacher addition for the 2013-2014 school year: 

Dorit Azoulay—1-2-3 Teacher

Dorit is excited to join the wonderful school community at Cowles Montessori School.  She knows she has big shoes to fill in taking over Mona’s former classroom, but Dorit is thrilled to continue providing the caring learning environment Mona has upheld for so many years.  Dorit has a breadth of experience in the education field both in and outside of the Montessori approach, holding a Bachelor of Arts in American Studies from University of Iowa (’09), and a Master of Science in Education and Museum Education (’11) from acclaimed Bank Street College of Education in New York City.  Bank Street is a progressive, constructivist graduate school, with experiential learning and teacher observation of students as cornerstones of its philosophical foundation.  Dorit brings with her 9 summers’ worth of experience volunteering and working at Rainbow Montessori in Hollywood, FL.  Dorit is also multicultural, and can’t wait to introduce her students to her Moroccan- Israeli, Jewish-European, Jamaican heritage.  Beginning in fall of 2013, Dorit will enroll through Mid-American Montessori Teacher Training Institute’s online Montessori certification program in Omaha, Nebraska.  Dorit says, “I can’t wait to begin a long career at such an esteemed public elementary school!”

Please welcome Ms. Azoulay to the Cowles community.  As the 2013-2014 school year begin, Ms. Thompson will continue to support her former classroom.  She will begin the training process with Dorit this summer and continue to collaborate during the school year. Dorit will also be supported by the staff and the expert lower level team. She is looking forward to being part our Montessori family.
