About Theodora
I completed my undergraduate degree at the California University of Pennsylvania in 1991. I began my career as a 7th grade Life Science Teacher. As a high school Biology Teacher, I participated in the Pittsburgh Teacher's Institute, a collaboration between the Pittsburgh Public Schools, Chatham University, and Carnegie Mellon University. I also participated in multiple summer programs at John Hopkins University (2000), Carnegie Mellon University (2002), and the University of Pittsburgh (2004). In, 1994, I attended Duquesne University, located in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, and earned dual masters degrees in Elementary and Secondary School Counseling.
In 2008, I moved to Arizona and embarked upon my career in School Counseling. In 2013, I was awarded the ACTEAZ Counselor of the year. For 8 years I served as a School Counselor in a small suburban school district west of Phoenix and a large urban district east of Phoenix. At the end of the 2017-2018 school year, I decided to return to the classroom as a Secondary Biology Teacher. As a Teacher and Counselor, I facilitate academic lessons and interventions to increase student achievement and assist students with their goal of graduation and their post-secondary pathway choices. I aim to develop collaborative relationships with staff in support of an educational mission.
Part of my educational philosophy is “Teaching is not a certification; it is a gift.” In my opinion, to remain in the profession of Teaching, especially in the public-school system, one must rely on the drive that comes from the gift. In times of uncertainty, the gift pulls out the possibility of change. The change of the new day. The change of attitude. The change of dedication. "If educators don't know the solution exists within them, then there's no need for a book, workshop, or discussion to explore strategies, principles, best practices, and raised expectations. Students are fortunate to learn in a school environment that values, respects, and appreciates their culture." (Dr. Jawanza Kunjufu, 2012)

A few things worth thinking about before reaching out
How students can best communicate with their teacher:
There are times when students will find it necessary to speak with a teacher. Check out the following communication strategies. They will help you approach your teacher in a constructive way and make your discussion positive and beneficial for all parties involved.
· If you wish to speak with your teacher, email her or him. First ask when it would be convenient to meet (before school, after school, or during the advisory period). Next, show up on time. This shows respect for a teacher’s time.
· In advance, because time will most likely be limited, decide the specific points you need to discuss and begin with the most important to you. You may even make a list of the points you need to talk about. This will keep you organized and let the teacher know that you are serious and thoughtful.
· Make eye contact. We all appreciate feeling that the person to whom we are speaking is listening. Eye contact allows you to appear attentive.
· Be prepared for the possibility that you may need to compromise. If the student and the teacher cannot reach a total agreement about an issue, ask your parent to contact the teacher. When you are reasonable, you encourage the person to whom you are talking to be reasonable and fair. (Source: Unknown)
