Jacqueline Sabale Barbiere

I am a lifelong learner who possesses an immense passion for learning and teaching! My educational background includes graduating from Rutgers University in 2006 with my bachelor of arts degree. In 2014, I graduated from William Paterson University as the graduate class's valedictorian and graduate speaker with my Master of Arts in Teaching Grades K-6 and Special Education. I earned my 2nd master's degree, a Master of Education in Educational Leadership, along with principal and supervisor certifications, in July 2022. My thesis was also published as a book chapter in an educational technology book titled Tablets in K-12 Education: Integrated Experiences and Implications. In addition, I am a nationally accredited Orton-Gillingham Teacher (OG-T), and a Certified Dylsexia Therapist (CDT), having completed the Post-Masters Orton-Gillingham Teacher and Dyslexia Specialist Scholarship Program at the Mason's Tenafly Learning Center through Fairleigh Dickinson University. These certifications and training allow me to incorporate, and implement, specialized, multi-sensory, direct and explicit reading and spelling instruction into, and in, my teaching practice. My professional background in special education includes instructing a diverse population of students with special needs in grades K-12 within school, home and community settings. I have worked in the special education field, since 2006, within the public schools system, as well as in a private special education school. In addition, I have experience providing Orton-Gillingham instruction and Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) Therapy in the school, home and community.
