Clemencia+Acevedo

I'm finishing my third year of teaching at Urban Science Academy MS325 in the Bronx. My teaching experience includes ICT/ELLS/Self Contained 6th/7th/8th Math, Science, Reading and ELA settings. Since 2014, I have been running MS325 soccer team. Our soccer team has done a tremendous job in competing against other middle schools in Manhattan and the Bronx. Thanks to digital literacy knowledge and skills learned at Fordham, I have introduced my students to use Wikispaces as a platform to learn and collaborate with their peers. For the school year 2015-2016, I have used Google Classroom and Remind for instruction and communication with students and parents.

I have a History degree from Hunter College ‘12 and Dual Certification from Fordham University ‘13. I was a recipient of the TRIP program 2012-2013. I had the best teacher educators at Fordham and did my student teaching at Angelo Patri Middle School, Social Studies/self-contained, and International School for Liberal Arts high school, social studies/bilingual/general in the Bronx. Before entering graduate school, I worked for eight years in film distribution and exhibition. I worked for ArtMattan Productions, a film distribution company and The African Diaspora Film Festival showcasing art-house films with a focus on African and African Diaspora cinema. During these years I attended several times many film festival in many countries as a film programmer to view films, evaluate and recommend them for festival programming and distribution. These are The World FF(Montreal), my favorite, Berlin FF, FESPACO (Burkina Faso-Africa), Mar Del Plata FF (Argentina), Chicago Latino FF and others.

I experiment with authentic Mexican Food. I like sports, play tennis, squash and run when I can. I read the New York Times and listen to NPR/WNYC, The Moth, The Bryan Lehrer Show and This is American Life.

I love connecting with passionate, positive, innovative seekers of knowledge individuals. Thanks to Dr. Turner and DLC team and Lisa Nielsen and her NYC tech teachers, I and my students have greatly learned literacy and technology skills. We cannot do it alone but together is the way.
