Prior to joining MfA, she served for four years as the executive director for the Office of Innovation within the New York City Department of Education. She began her career in education as a science teacher in Manhattan where she was also a middle school principal and then Regional Director for STEM.
Dr. Roberts is a past Woodrow Wilson Science Teaching Fellow; a Fulbright Memorial Teaching Fellow; and a Columbia University Science Teacher Research Fellow, for which she now serves on the advisory board.

Today Episode is a Thought for Teachers episode, and in it i have a single thought for you to ponder that will hopefully give you something to reflect on as you go about your day. Todays thought is this: Do Your Flaws Form a Foundation? Often times what seems to be a blemish on the surface can actually be a transformational experience that sets the foundation for an even greater impact. When we take a moment to reflect on how our 'cracks' in our teaching road make us even better teachers, we can change the game entirely... lets talk about it...
