"I was very fortunate to be able to complete my student teaching requirements at PG Chambers School. Everyday brought new challenges and experiences. My cooperating teacher, Margey, helped me learn how to develop my lessons so they would include the necessary multi-sensory strategies our students need to promote learning. I also had the benefit of working with the many knowledgeable therapists and fellow teachers here at the school. When my supervisor from William Paterson University came to observe me, she fell in love with our school! I still consider myself to be very fortunate to be part of such a wonderful school as PG Chambers." - Carol Barron, Teacher and Former Student Intern at PG Chambers School
