POBJFK Educator is a Master Teacher

Plainview-Old Bethpage John F. Kennedy High School math teacher Tara Finn has been accepted to the prestigious New York State Master Teacher Program. This program is a professional network of K-12 STEM teachers from across the state that allows them to collaborate on ways to inspire their students, the next generation of STEM leaders.

With this recognition, Ms. Finn joins more than 1,400 elite STEM teachers who will meet periodically at SUNY host campuses across the state. Each site will provide robust programs tailored to meet each Master Teacher’s professional growth and development goals.

Ms. Finn has been teaching at POBJFKHS for the past 10 years, and she is currently teaching AP Calculus AB and precalculus. She has also coached volleyball and lacrosse in the District and served as advisor for the Mathletes Club.

“Ms. Finn has shown a clear dedication and passion not only for her students, but also the subject of math itself,” said Principal Dr. Heather Dvorak. “This is a wonderful opportunity for her, and I look forward to the additional skills she will take away from this program as well as what professional skills she will impart on her colleagues.”
