Corey is ready to make a monumental difference

Corey believes that the most important job is that of an educator, and he is ready to make a monumental change for students and communities in Baltimore. After teaching for seven years, he is excited to join New Leaders because it allows him the opportunity to work with other highly-motivated and talented leaders who are also driving for gains in student achievement.

Corey began his career as a social studies teacher and team leader at Francis Scott Key Elementary/Middle School. He then taught English, entrepreneurship and social studies in grades 6-12 at Friendship Academy of Engineering and Technology. While he was working as site-director of a summer and after-school program at Friendship, he led 8th graders in the program to improve their scores by 16 percent in English and 24 percent in math in state exams.

Corey believes there is an urgent need for education reform, and that “leadership has a great effect on the school as a whole and can lead to monumental changes for students and the local communities.”

Thank you all for supporting Corey as he learns how to have a greater impact on his school and community through New Leaders!
