Hey there!

My name is Elaina Rosa and I love learning.  

Through past work, I've earned the titles of film producer and free-lance photographer, computer technician, animal rehabilitator, and small business owner.  My own mother dubbed me a "lifelong student" and I could not agree more.  In teaching, I hope to impart that same passion for learning in my own students.

As an educator, I've taught children from grades K-7 and it's been the most rewarding experience. One of my driving visions is for all students to be prepared to compete in a technology-driven global economy. In my classroom, we build websites, produce and record newscasts, work with virtual and augmented reality and learn the basics of computer coding. 

At our school, I serve on our Instructional Leadership Team, I've also acted at the lead teacher in a collaboration with the Museum of Science and Industry called the Science Leadership Initiative, and I am a member of CPS's CS4ALL (computer science) PLT.

There is much more to share, but I hope for the opportunity to do that in person as we get to know each other through the year.
