About Me

Welcome to my teaching portfolio! I'm Isabella Rofsky, a 24-year-old wrapping up my first year as a transitional kindergarten teacher. I recently graduated from the University of California, Irvine in June 2024, earning my Master of Arts in Teaching along with a Multiple Subject Teaching Credential. The MAT program at UCI emphasized a theory-to-practice approach, allowing me to explore impactful, evidence-based strategies and apply them during two student teaching placements across different grade levels and school districts. As part of the program, I also completed an inquiry capstone project, conducting research within my student teaching placement.​

This past year in my own classroom has been full of learning and growth. I've strengthened my commitment to implementing research-based instructional practices while nurturing strong, positive relationships with my students. These connections are the foundation of my teaching philosophy and have reinforced my passion for creating inclusive, supportive learning environments.​

Outside of the classroom, I enjoy spending quality time with friends and family, experiencing live music whenever I can, and both teaching and attending fitness classes. I'm excited to continue growing as an educator and look forward to the new experiences and opportunities ahead. Please feel free to reach out if you have any questions.
