Mrs. Rosanne Schoen, Speech/Language Pathologist, Meadowbrook & Parkway
Elementary Schools, East Meadow UFSD, has been named a 2007-2008 Dowling
College/News 12 Long Island Educator of the Month. Nominations were
accepted from schools throughout Nassau and Suffolk counties, and a
committee of distinguished educators selected the winners.
Compassionate, knowledgeable, committed and steadfast are only a few
words to describe her talent in working for students and parents.
Colleagues often will rely on her expertise to assist with students who
are displaying extreme difficulty in the area of speech and language.
Mrs. Schoen is described as an excellent diagnostician in determining
the language needs of students. In a letter of recommendation, Mrs.
Schoen is described as "being our greatest resource, Roseanne has also
proven to be our compass and our beacon." Mrs. Schoen was also
recommended for being awed by the uncanny wealth of information that she
has at her disposal. Her influence transcends the entire East Meadow
School District on all levels; elementary, middle and secondary.
Parents find solace in the compassionate way they are treated by
Roseanne and teachers find strength and validation in her wise counsel
and guidance
Dr. Clyde Payne, Dean of Dowling's School of Education says, "Since
Long Island is known for having the best teachers in the nation, and we
received so many nominations from across Nassau and Suffolk, Rosanne
Schoen is truly a remarkable educator." A special feature announcing
Mrs. Schoen's award will air soon on News 12. In June the award
winners and their guests will be honored at a special dinner.
