Rosa Moshi

PBL Works National Faculty member Rosa Moshi is an instructional coach at a rural public school in the Hudson Valley area of NY.

She was first introduced to the wonderful world of PBL as a high school science teacher at a NYC public school within the New York Performance Standards Consortium. Teaching within a PBL framework allowed her to find the joy and humanity in teaching again. She loved the creativity and challenge of developing science classes that would engage diverse learners to do authentic science work and collaboratively tackle meaningful questions. As a teacher, she developed curricula for courses on genetics, water science, microbiology, environmental justice, and more.

As an instructional coach, Rosa works with teachers of all grade levels and subject areas and particularly enjoys working to build relationships and create spaces where adults feel comfortable taking risks and trying new things. Rosa is a lifelong learner and finds that working alongside other educators is one of the best ways to learn and grow herself. She believes that schools can help students develop the critical thinking skills, agency, empathy, and imagination to make our world a better place.

Rosa holds her B.A. in anthropology and human biology from the University of Virginia, M.S in education from Lehman College through the NYC Teaching Fellows program, and a Certificate of Advanced Study in School Leadership from SUNY New Paltz.
