1ST GRADE TEACHER / MATH AND SCIENCE

Dawn Pensack

I’m delighted to be a member of the Cedar Hill Prep Faculty. I will be teaching 1st-grade Math and Science. I started my career in education teaching middle school math and science through the New York City Teaching Fellows Program. After moving to New Jersey, I taught middle school Math for over 10 years.

I believe in creating an environment of exploration and creativity – where students feel safe taking risks and thinking BIG, and where they develop a deep sense of trust in their ability.  I believe in a multi-sensory classroom where all learning styles are appreciated and where students learn more about themselves as young scholars and classmates.

I am passionate about mathematics and science and helping students develop their innate sense of curiosity and wonder about the world. I have a B.S. in Finance and a M.S. in Math Education and have been an instructor for RTC (Regional Training Center for teacher education programs) since 2016.
