Hello, my name is Claudette Cronauer, and I have been a teacher in the Oriskany Central School District since September 2000. Over the years I have held positions as a Reading Specialist, English teacher, and RtI Coordinator. I have taught English for grade levels 7-11 and Reading grades 3-12 throughout my years at Oriskany. I currently teach English for grades 7 and 8.
In addition to my English 7-12 certification, I am also a certified as a K-6 (elementary education) and N-12 Reading teacher.
I am excited to work with your child during this school year and watch them grow and learn over the course of time we will be spending together in the classroom.
