Monique Rothman
Monique loves teaching inquiry-based science in the lower and intermediate divisions. She sees her most important role as a facilitator of learning opportunities and as a guide to helping students develop their own style of learning and questioning. Before joining The School in 2007, Monique taught science and ran the After School program at Fieldston Lower School, incorporated science into her third grade homerooms at the Town School and Brooklyn Friends, and worked as an environmental educator in Central Park. Throughout her life, Monique has sought experiences that would bring her closer to nature - from glacier camping in Alaska, and trekking through eastern Nepal to collect tree data for the World Wildlife Fund, to working at outdoor summer camps in Pennsylvania and Westchester's Lenoir Preserve. Some of Monique’s most vivid science memories stem from time spent playing outdoors in London parks and in the surrounding countryside, where she lived through the end of high school. Currently Monique lives in Westchester with her husband and two children, where she gardens, composts and learns about the highly successful world of weeds.
