My name is Jennifer Eraca and I have the good fortune of teaching 5th grade
special education at West Road School. While this is my first year to West
Road, I am not new to the field of education. I bring with me over 12 years
of teaching experience in various educational settings as well as the trials
and tribulations that come from raising four children.
I received my Bachelor of Arts in Psychology|Special Education and Elementary
Education from Marist College. It was during this time I had the opportunity
to travel and study abroad in Australia. Upon graduation, I taught both 2nd
grade and special education in the Amityville Schools. While working in
Amitvyille, I completed my Master of Science in Reading from Dowling
College. For over 10 years, I taught 3rd grade inclusion in the Somers
Central Schools. Through the years, I have piloted many new math, reading
and writing programs and have instructed several summer and remedial classes.
For the last several years, I have had the opportunity to stay home and raise
my family. In addition, I was also able to work with my husband in our
family-owned business as well as explore other interests. In July 2008, I
had the honor of receiving a patent for an invention I created.
I am constantly learning and growing as an individual and person. I hope to
pass along my passion for growth, new adventures and exploration to your
child.
