Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor a dedicated public servant in the Yonkers community, Dr. Andrea Coddett, who this year has been named ``Woman of the Year 2018'' by the Luther V. Garrison Sr. Masonic Foundation Inc. Dr. Coddett is the Deputy Superintendent for the Yonkers Public Schools. In her role, she oversees the Division of Teaching and Learning, ensuring that all curriculum is aligned to the New York State Learning Standards and that all instruction is aligned to 21st Century learning skills, so students are prepared for college and or careers. As the Chairperson of the Yonkers Basics Advisory Board, Dr. Coddett leads a team of approximately 40 volunteer members from various community sectors charged with saturating the community with five research-based interactive pillars proven effective in redressing cognitive and social-emotional inequities due to poverty. Dr. Coddett began her career in education as a Special Education teacher after which she became a building-level Math Specialist. In her administrative career, Dr. Coddett has worked as a District Math Specialist PreK-12, an Early Childhood Principal, a K-5 principal, a Director of Secondary Special Education and an Assistant Superintendent for Instruction K-12. Dr. Coddett is a graduate of Fordham University where she earned a doctorate in Executive Leadership. She holds Masters Degrees in Curriculum and Instruction with a Reading specialization and Educational Administration from Pace University and a Bachelor degree in Psychology from Mercy College. Dr. Coddett also holds administrative certifications in School District Administration and School Building Administration and Supervision, as well as teaching certifications in Special Education, birth through 21, and General Education, N-6. Dr. Coddett continues to influence school transformation and policy decisions by serving on Carnegie Foundation's national Improvement Leadership Education and Development (iLEAD) steering committee with university and school-based educators committed to integrating improvement science principles into leadership development and educational practice. Having lived in and been educated in four different countries on three different continents, Dr. Coddett considers herself a global citizen. It is her contention that as an educational leader, she is one of the gate-keepers of tomorrow and believes that each and every child deserves an excellent education. As a former classroom teacher myself, I happen to agree wholeheartedly. Dr. Coddett has achieved a great deal and is well deserving of this honor. Congratulations to her on receiving this wonderful recognition. ____________________ |
