Dr. Shana Burnett

I have and continue to work relentlessly to interpret and implement the Common Core State Standards, the Next Generation Science Standards, and the New Jersey Student Learning Standards for English Language Arts and Mathematics. I currently fulfill the role and assume the responsibilities of the Supervisor of the Arts program, Supervisor of STEM and 4th through 8th grade Instructional teams. Collaborative opportunities and weekly meetings are held with the Comprehensive Support Teams who include Instructional Coaches, Academic Interventionist, and Resource Teachers, to provide support to the consistently struggling staff and students within the school. During my tenure as an educational leader, I provided targeted professional development for the teachers and routinely aggregated, reviewed and disseminated data to ensure weekly and monthly targets were met, in addition to coaching teachers and other administrators in building leadership capacity. I currently facilitate this same process as I work with the directors, supervisors, and teachers. Walkthroughs of the school and classrooms are conducted daily to provide teachers and school leadership team with constructive, targeted feedback geared at improving student achievement. Being a leader who performs well under the current pressures of reform and who has a keen ability to effectively build relationships, I am a trusted, efficient decision-maker who is open to dialogue and collaboration with all stakeholders. My passion for bilingual, ESL and special education allows me the ability to support and ensure inclusivity and equity for all student.
