Hello!

Hello everyone!

My name is Molly St Thomas. I graduated from SUNY Geneseo in 2020 with a Bachelor’s in Childhood and Special Education. I taught fifth grade for three years, and just made the switch to teaching sixth grade special education. I love teaching upper elementary/middle school age students, and hope to continue in this area for some time. Looking ahead I hope to also take on a leadership role through an instructional coaching or learning specialist position. 

I chose to complete the M.Ed . in Curriculum and Instruction through SUNY Empire because of the flexibility to continue my education in both the areas of general and special education (the path I chose for my concentration!). Through this course I am excited to explore more about the age of media that our students are living through. As a middle school teacher I frequently find myself supporting students through various media related challenges. I am interested in analyzing media from multiple perspectives, and finding the positive ways that media can be incorporated into students’ learning. 

When I am not in the classroom I enjoy staying busy. As a Rochester native, I love to take advantage of the nice weather when we are lucky enough to get it. On any given afternoon you could find me spending time hiking or running, going to the lake, or sitting outside with a book. In the fall and winter I am a huge football fan and love to attend games when I can. Go Bills!
