Welcome to my teaching portfolio! My name is Jennifer Sisco-Smith. I am a 2006 graduate of William Paterson University in Wayne, NJ where I earned my Bachelor’s degree in English and Secondary Education. While working to complete that degree, I did my student teaching at the high school level. Since September of 2006, I have been teaching 7th grade Language Arts and Literature in West Milford, NJ. Currently, I am also pursuing a Master’s degree in Educational Technology from Ramapo College of New Jersey as well as working to obtain my supervisor’s certification.
Outside of the classroom, I enjoy reading, singing, acting, travel, and gardening. Above all, I really have a love of learning. If I can’t broaden my horizons by visiting a particular place, then I do so through literature or through theatrical or film productions. Some of my favorite works of literature include classics by such authors as Charles Dickens, Jane Austen, and William Shakespeare. But I also enjoy more contemporary pieces by Tennessee Williams, Arthur Miller, Dan Brown, Lois Lowry, and (last but most definitely not least) J.K. Rowling.
