Teresa L. Folan

Teresa Folan (she/her) originally hails from North Jersey! Although the bulk of her teaching experience has been in NJ, she has also had wonderful experiences teaching bilingual schools in Madrid, Spain and Prague, Czech Republic. Teresa is at her happiest when she is able to combine her knowledge in Special Education and multilingual learning in order to support all students. In true Jersey girl fashion, Teresa can be heard blasting Whitney Houston classics on the drive to her local bagel stop.
