Get To Know Mrs. Rubin

Who is Mrs. Rubin???

Before I began my teaching career I worked for Fox Sports Network in Ad Sales. After a year in Ad Sales I knew it was not for me so my grandfather suggested I look into teaching. Eleven years later and here I am :). I started teaching over ten years ago in Queens, New York. I taught special education for over 8 years. as well as Literacy Through Music and Art, in New York. The past two years I taught 5th grade in Wake County. My objective as a teacher has always been to provide students with the opportunity to learn, imagine, explore and create. I believe when students study topics that are relevant to their own lives and that of their community, there is an intrinsic motivation to learn and succeed.

In 2004, I graduated with a Bachelor of Arts in Communications and Sociology from the State University at Buffalo. A few years later in 2006 I graduated from Touro College in New York City. I earned a dual Masters Degree in General Education and Special Education.

Education

I was born and raised in Queens, New York. Throughout my entire education, social studies was always my favorite subject. I loved taking part in hands on projects and participating in school plays. My favorite grade in elementary school was fifth grade :)
