Congratulations Mrs. Cawley and Mrs. Kinsler (Miss Jenny)!
Excellence in education from the very beginning here at Saint Brendan!
ELCFV is proud to celebrate excellence in early learning!
Our Chief Program Officer Allison Miller along with Program Administration staff Philip Gorrasi, Reverend Thomas Barrett, and Angela Jones, recently recognized Tara Cawley and Genevieve Kinsler of St. Brendan Catholic School for their outstanding achievement in their VPK classroom!
Tara and Genevieve earned an amazing CLASS Score of 6.08!* They consistently provide children with opportunities to problem-solve and apply higher-order thinking skills, fostering a deeper understanding of concepts. Through the use of open-ended questions, they encourage children to share thoughtful responses, which supports the development of both cognitive and language skills.
We are inspired by the meaningful impact they make every day in the lives of children!
CLASS is measured on a 7-point range.
Today we celebrate our littlest graduates! Prek all the way!!
