Welcome to Scholars Academy

 

 

Hi, my name is Mrs. Nadbielny and I am happy to continue as the STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art and Math) teacher at Scholars Academy, now in my sixth year.  I am excited to see so many familiar faces and welcome our new students to Scholars. 

I am currently working toward my Gifted Education Certification through Rutgers University.  I have a Master’s degree in Education from Seton Hall University with a concentration in Instructional Design and Technology.  I have a Bachelor's degree from New York University (NYU) with a double major in Computer Science and Math. I worked as a computer programmer on Wall Street for eleven years before taking off some time to raise my son and daughter who are now in college and graduate school.

We have a rigorous program to cover this year and our focus will be on the 4 C’s of 21st century skills: collaboration, communication, critical thinking and creativity.  Students will collaborate while designing and building various STEAM projects while using the design engineering process.  Students will also build programmable robots and code, which I am very passionate about. It is my goal to teach students how to think critically and how to solve problems, skills that can be used throughout life.  I look forward to working with your children this year!
