                                                     Who’s in the Classroom?
                                                                       Faculty Members to Know

This column is the third in a series of the educators who man the classrooms of FCWCS . . .
Leila S. Robinson, 1st Grade Paraprofessional
Our Ms. Robinson has a teaching career that spans over four decades. We call
that a “seasoned” educator. You can tell by her demeanor that she has spent
years honing her craft. Her days are spent at FCW as a paraprofessional but her
career in education began as a 1st grade and kindergarten classroom teacher.

Ms. Robinson’s career began at neighboring Mildred Osborne Elementary. In
1983, she moved to McDonogh #32 in Algiers as a Kindergarten teacher and
later a Pre-K teacher. During this time, Ms. Rob worked to write a quality
curriculum, find creative and modern techniques to engage her students,
mentored new teachers, and opened her classroom for observation to other
interested educators. In 1997, she was awarded Teacher of the Year for her
many years of dedication and advocacy for quality education. Her career at
McDonogh #32 ended in 2005 with Hurricane Katrina.

After Katrina, she was employed again in the charter school system at Martin
Behrman Charter School in Algiers. She retired in 2015.

In the Fall of 2017, Ms. Robinson accepted a paraprofessional position in first
grade at Fannie C. Williams Charter School. You will find her floating from the
rooms of Ms. Theard and Mrs. Bercy effortlessly. During the 2018-2019 school
year, her co-workers at Fannie noted her talents and named her Staff Member
of the Year!

What makes a good teacher/paraprofessional? You only have to watch Ms.
Robinson in action to know the answer to that question! She’s patient, engaging,
a great collaborator, a great listener, adaptable, and empathic toward all the little
ones she helps. It is obvious her goal is to create a community of learners that
are being nurtured to grow in a positive and fun environment. The two 1st
grade teachers she assist—Theard and Bercy—I am sure have learned a thing or
two from this veteran educator. We can also add to her list of attributes that she
shares her best practices honed during those four decades.

A native of Natchez, Mississippi, Ms. Robinson holds a B.A. in Elementary
Education from Xavier University and a Master’s in Curriculum & Instruction
from the University of New Orleans. Her inspiration came from her mother,
who was an educator and encouraged the path into the career that has shaped
her adult life.                                                                                     Ms. Robinson review “sight” words with a virtual student
