About The Teacher Label
About The Teacher
Welcome to Mrs. Ferraro's Fabulous Finds webpage! This site is designed to provide both the student and parent with information necessary for the students success in my classes. This class is unique from others because it encourages the students to learn study skill strategies and their learning styles, as well as certain life skills necessary for success in today's work force. My favorite quote is one by Michael Jordan....... "You have to expect things of yourself before you can do them. I can accept failure. Everyone fails at something. But I can't accept not trying." In Mrs. Ferraro's Biology class, students have the right to fail, however, that right is not allowedor exercised in my course. Those who truly work hard and put forth effort in all of their classwork, homework, tests/quizzes and who regularly participate in class, will do well in my class. Please see me afterschool if you are ever not performing satisfactorily. Homework Refer to this website for Biology Homework Assignments and Blackboard for Forensics and AP Bio assignments. In addition, Biology students homework is posted online. Use the navigation bar to access the assignments. Below is a little background information about me and some additional tidbits of information.

Mission For The Class
Experience Started with Hammond High School School Year 1999-2000. For SY 2006-07, I teach Biology I, AP Biology and Forensic Science. Employed by the American Red Cross for twelve years.

Certificates 1993 Specialist in Blood Banking certificate Education 1986 Bachelor of Science, Medical Technology, College of Saint Rose, Albany, NY. 2006 - Master of Education, Curriculum and Instruction, Loyola University, Baltimore, MD. Alternative Assessment The lessons are designed to provide the students with ample opportunity for success. Each lesson is designed to engage the student in work that "stimulates their curiosity, permits them to express their creativity, and foster positive relationships with others". Students will be involved in many hands-on cooperative tasks. These tasks are either projects/labs which focuses on the student demonstrating the knowledge they have acquired rather than what they don't know. Multiple Intelligence Theory and Lessons "Give me a fish and I eat for a day. Teach me to fish and I eat for a lifetime" -Proverb Since all students learn differently, in my class, each student has the opportunity to succeed because all lessons include a variety of instructional tasks designed to touch on all seven intelligences. At the end of the year, I hope the students will have been exposed to a variety of different techniques such that they will be able to recognize the strategies that help them to learn best. They will then be able to utilize these strategies in all learning experiences to come.
