The district welcomes Jennifer Hoffman as the new curriculum specialist beginning in the 2015-16 school year.

Hoffman joins West Babylon from the Plainview-Old Bethpage School District, where she served as an assistant principal at both Old Bethpage and Parkway elementary schools. Prior to that, she was a classroom teacher in the Lawrence School District. She has also worked as a staff developer, heading up workshops for Common Core, literacy and writing strategies.

“We welcome Ms. Hoffman and look forward to her contribution in the coming year,” said Superintendent Dr. Yiendhy Farrelly. “Her extensive understanding of literacy, curriculum and professional development will be a great asset.”

Hoffman holds a master’s degree in curriculum and teaching from Columbia University and an advanced certificate in educational leadership from Stony Brook University.
