Ms. Michelle Diaz - Classroom Teacher
Welcome to our K–2 Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) program at Public School #4! It is my pleasure to be your child’s teacher. I earned my Bachelor’s Degree in Psychology and English from Kean University in 2016 and later graduated from New Jersey City University with a Master’s Degree in Early Childhood Education (P–3) and dual certification in Special Education.
I am always proud to be teaching in the West New York School District, as I am a product of the West New York educational system myself—#WNYstrong! Although I am a teacher, I consider myself a lifelong learner, and my greatest lessons often come from my students. This school year marks my fifth year teaching in my hometown. I am continuously learning, researching, reading, and collaborating to grow professionally so that I can provide the very best for my students.
My team and I are excited for a safe, successful school year and look forward to sharing this journey with you and your family.
