I am very excited to be the Gifted and Talented Specialist in the Wyckoff School District! I have had the pleasure of teaching third and fourth grade for fifteen years and I previously taught a Gifted and Talented class for two years in Alexandria, Virginia. My journey in education has been driven by a passion for nurturing the unique talents and abilities of each child. I earned a Master's Degree in Gifted Education from Teachers College, Columbia University, which has provided me with a strong foundation in understanding and addressing the needs of gifted learners. With a deep background in experience, research, and a personal passion for gifted education, I am dedicated to empowering my students to achieve their fullest potential.

Mrs. Ann Hazley
I am honored to be both the Library Media Specialist and Wyckoff Extended Learning "WEL" Teacher at Eisenhower Middle School. I have worked with middle school students for 20 years and they continue to surprise me with their unique talents, intellectual interests and curious nature. Having the Library Media Center as my classroom is an asset in my teaching role as we are surrounded by books, imagination and inspiration.
I graduated from Ramapo College of New Jersey with a Bachelor's Degree in English Literature, and earned a K-12 English Teaching certification. I continued my education at New Jersey City University, earning a Master's Degree in Technology in Education with a Library Media Specialist Certification. I have also completed a Supervisor Certification, as well. I continue my education by regularly attending professional developments and keeping up with professional journals, and, as always, learning from the students each and every day!
