New Teachers!

Greetings to the newest addition to our team for next year, Maria McCabe! Maria will be teaching in one of the upper grades in the Primary School. She hails from New York and has been teaching at the Int. School of Amsterdam for the last two years. Before that she worked with me at the American School of Milan. Maria is excited that she will be a teaching fellow at Project Zero at Harvard this summer. Go, Maria!

On Friday we offered a contract to a new Italian teacher who will replace one of our faculty members who will be taking a maternity leave. Marco Bruno has three years experience in Italian Primary Schools near his home town of Novara, between Milan and Turin. Marco speaks fluent English and has also been an English teacher. He is completing his degree in Elementary Education and is working on a thesis about constructivism. Welcome, Marco!

Mary Marjerrison will be our new PYP Coordinator for Years 1-5 as well as Curriculum and Language Coordinator for Years 1-8. Mary is currently PYP Coordinator and Deputy Head of School at the Bilingual School of Monza. She brings to BES more than 25 years of experience in education, as a classroom teacher, teacher trainer, and school administrator. Mary is a faculty member at Harvard University's Project Zero Summer Institute.

Nathaniel Katz will join our Middle School as a teacher of Art and Computers. Nathaniel is currently working at the Bilingual School of Monza in the same subject areas. Nathaniel is a professional artist and has put on numerous art shows.
