BIO Ms. McNamara is an ESL teacher for Franklin Lakes Public Schools. She earned a B.A. in Art History and a M.S.T. for grades K-6 from Fordham University. She earned a Certificate in teaching English as a Second Language from William Paterson University. Regina began as a classroom teacher in 1995 and since 2006 she has taught ESL for grade school students and adults. My philosophy for life AND teaching is best said below "To laugh often and much; to win the respect of the intelligent people and the affection of children; to earn the appreciation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends; to appreciate beauty; to find the beauty in others; to leave the world a bit better whether by a healthy child, a garden patch, or a redeemed social condition; to know that one life has breathed easier because you lived here. This is to have succeeded." Ralph Waldo Emerson |
