User:Melissa Plitt

My name is Melissa Plitt, and I have been teaching for about 10 years. I began my teaching career in an alternative junior high/high school, teaching English to at-risk students in grades 7-12. For the past 7 years, I have been working in a small but growing partial-immersion foreign language charter school. For 6 of those years, I taught 5th grade general education. This year, I am teaching 6th grade Language & Literature and Individuals & Societies in our International Baccalaureate middle school. My certifications include K-12 English and Social Studies, as well as Elementary K-5 and Middle School English in NJ.

I earned my BA in History with a minor in English from Rutgers College, and am currently working toward my Master's in Curriculum Design and Instructional Technology Master's program at the University at Albany.
