Rita Szopinski Email & Phone Number

With over eight years of work experience, I am a passionate and dedicated educator who strives to provide a high-quality and engaging education for my students. I have a master's degree in education and a bachelor's degree in Sociology and Italian Studies. I am currently working at Harford County Public Schools, where I am committed to supporting the district's vision of excellence, equity, and innovation.Previously, I worked at Milwaukee Public Schools, where I was part of an Italian-immersion program that aimed to instruct in both languages. This required designing and implementing teacher-created materials and translating existing curriculum into the target language. I also received extensive training on restorative practices and cultural responsiveness, which helped me to meet the needs and experiences of a very diverse student population. Some of the skills that I developed and utilized in this role include education, interpersonal communication, and time management.
