Thank you for visiting my teaching website!
I'm an experienced educator with three years in the DOE, teaching students with autism and emotional disabilities. I believe all students can learn once their sensory and emotional needs are met, and I work hard to create a classroom community where students can reach their full potential.
"The classroom interactions between you, staff, students, and among students are highly respectful, reflecting genuine warmth and caring sensitivity to students as individuals.... The net result is an environment where students feel valued and are comfortable taking intellectual risks."
--Liz Defrancisco, evaluator, PS 169M.
"Leontine comes to the classroom prepared to teach and mentor the students. She sets clear expectations for students’ behavior and holds the children accountable to those expectations throughout the lesson."
"Leontine is able to really get to the heart of the matter when counseling students who need it, posing questions that allow students to think through their motivations. She has been very patient and kind with students that display consistent issues, day in and day out.”
--Justin Chao, cooperating teacher, PS 183M.

Social Studies
Social Studies
When I was asked to create a social studies curriculum for 12-14 year olds at Different Directions, I took advantage of my background in the arts to create a class that uses art and artifacts to tell the story of world history. Our fall term explored the rise of “civilization” (a loaded word), our winter term traced the spread of religion, and our spring term looked at the effects of colonialism in Africa, Europe and the New World.
This class went fully remote in Fall 2020. In this picture, a student shares the symbol she designed to represent order and chaos as part of our Ancient Egypt unit. She drew a match and a flame.
Visual Art
Visual Art
I created a visual art program for Queens Music Academy when they expanded their offerings to include summer camp and vacation mini-camps. I also taught afterschool art classes there and did art activities with families at community events.
Since March 2020, I’ve been teaching group and private art lessons via zoom.
