Margaret Barker, Primary Teacher m.barker@cms.k12.nc.us Born in Ireland. Emigrated to Brooklyn, NY at age 10. Bachelor’s Degree, Elementary Education, Syracuse University Masters Degree, Early Childhood Education, Syracuse University. I feel privileged to be a teacher. To be a part of a child’s journey as they grow in their academic, social and emotional development is an amazing experience. To be at Park Road Montessori gives me a sense of being part of an educational revolution that is so needed throughout our public schools. |
