Theresa London Cooper has been an educator for the New York City Department of Education for twenty-two years, during which time she spent eleven wonderful years in the classroom teaching children in grades kindergarten through five. Her desire to support teachers, especially new teachers, has been a long-standing passion that led her to adult education. Presently, she works for the UFT Teacher Center in various collaborations. As a professional developer for 11 years, providing in-class support to teachers as well as professional development sessions citi-wide for coaches and school leadership, she enjoys the best of both worlds.
