Meet The Teachers of Brainfood Academy. They are brilliant additions and are a cut above all of the teachers we have found. We searched out and found some of the most educated minds who can lead our students to the hall of success. They love to teach, and they excel in their craft. They also have the ability to help shape young minds into great achievers. Free thinking is one of the things they agree with. They have the ability to help students become their own people and understand that their voices matter.
Teachers Of Brainfood Academy
Here at Brainfood Academy, the teachers are dedicated to our mission. The mission states: We work hard to teach and educate our students. They will not be forced to learn one belief or idea. We are here to help them understand that they have a voice and can discern fact from opinion. We want to provide them with the ability to know the difference and follow their dreams and ambitions, no matter what.
Finding the right teachers to work with our platform was not an easy task. Therefore, through our patience and asking the right questions, we think we were guided in the right direction. As our school launches, we will add more teachers with core values that match.
Below, we want you to meet the teachers who will start the year at Brainfood Academy
Ms. Dawn Tulini:
I teach both general education and special education. Having experience in special education in the 1st and 2nd grades. Also, she teaches the school’s middle school students in grades 4 and 5. To assist individuals who required additional support, I conducted 9th and 10th supplementary classes. I conducted my online classes using Google Classroom breakout rooms during the pandemic. I left a school for low-income families in June 2022 and retired. But I really enjoyed working with students of all school levels. I will be a 1–5 teacher as well as a High School Language Arts and Social Studies instructor here at Brainfood Academy. Also, I will be a science and third- and fourth-grade social studies teacher. I will also teach Math for grades 1-4 if necessary.
Dr. Cassandra Hawkins
As a retired educator and entrepreneur, the quote by Fredrick Douglas, “It is easier to build strong children than repair broken adults, has resonated for many years in the mind of Cassandra Mmabatho Hawkins. With over 29 years of experience in education, teaching language arts, and 11 years of mission work, Dr. Cassandra Hawkins was recognized as a VIP member in 2020 by the P.O.W.E.R. (Professional Organization of Women of Excellence Recognized). Using her degrees in speech, theater, and communications, she allows children to express themselves and stimulates their creativity to problem-solve. Cassandra Mmabatho Hawkins, Doctor of Ministry, enjoys teaching Bible stories used to teach character development and help children grow spiritually. In addition to all she does, she is most excited about directing stage plays and musicals that teach children, teens, and young adults how to make the best choices.
So, if you want to meet and work with Dr. Hawkins, then make sure you enroll in her classes this year!! She would enjoy opening your mind and expanding your horizons.
Mr. Emilio Cantu
I am Mr. Emilio Cantu, and I am here to show you the world of music. Music theory will show you where you can find music in everyday life. Music is all around you if you know where to look. And how to recognize it. Music theory is just the beginning of all that music encompasses.
My goal here at Brainfood Academy is to educate students and create engaging lessons in music. The main focus will be to instruct you on how to read musical chords. I will also have a separate class for instruction in playing the guitar. By using my experience and knowledge in music, the student will be able to become skillfully proficient in the art of music.
As the creator and founder of Mariachi bands as a grade and credit in the State of Texas with my colleagues, I hope to show the love of music to my students of all ages.
Francine Jackson;
Hi, I’m Francine Jackson, and I will be introducing you to the world of physics. I am a professional astronomy educator, teaching all ages and working in many different planetariums. My goal will be to show you that science isn’t just a “class,” but a part of everything you do. Come, open your eyes, and enjoy the world of everyday science.
As an educator and astronomy curator at Brown University, I hope to challenge and enlighten you in the world of physics and astronomy. The world is built on numbers. Let me show you how our universe is made.
Ms. Starling
I am a graduate of the University of Florida with a degree in elementary education and a minor in science. The majority of my experience is as a specialized teacher in the areas of reading and math at the elementary level. I love being able to help students develop a love of reading and math! I will be teaching first graders reading and math skills. In reading, I will cover phonological awareness, phonics, vocabulary, reading comprehension, fluency, handwriting, grammar, and punctuation.
Math is where we will learn: counting and cardinality, operations and algebraic thinking, numbers and operations in base ten, measurement and data, and geometry. In fourth grade, I will be teaching math. Some of those skills include numbers and operations in Base Ten, operations and algebraic thinking, numbers and operations (fractions and decimals), measurement and data, geometry, and mathematical reasoning and problem solving. I look forward to teaching your students in the future!
Mr. Janecek
According to Mr. Janecek, we need to learn from our past. Why? In order to understand our present. As a result, we can plan our future. Contrary to popular consensus, history is not up for debate. It is what it is. It happened. We cannot change it or dispute it. However, we can discuss it. Learn from it and educate ourselves on the mistakes as well as accomplishments of our past.
It will also help us understand why things are happening today. Mr. Janecek will engage our students in open conversation and learning about past and present history. From the Renaissance to current events. Using facts and not opinions, he will lead our students in their growing development toward finding their own voice. As a result of learning to discern fact from opinion, they can better make decisions for themselves. Learning how to think for themselves as well as reason from given facts will make our students better people. Moreover, they will be a vital influence in our ever-changing world.
Ms. Jay Fish
I talk with my hands! I love to teach and explore the world of learning. Although I have a special need to help me with my breathing, I hope to show my students that they are special too. With sign language and interactive teaching, I hope to show my students that there is the ability to learn in all things. In my class, my students will learn the joy and art of language. Explore the world of music. As well as learn how to communicate through sign language. Come on board with Brainfood Academy, and let’s learn together.
