Derek Spalla | Professional Educator

I currently teach ESOL (English for Speakers of Other Languages) as an itinerant teacher for the Carroll County School System.

I am graduating in May 2012 with my M.Ed. in Inclusive Education – TESOL at Kennesaw State University and I was unanimously nominated as the M.Ed. University Scholar at KSU for my program.

My current research involves identifying the most effective ESOL instructional delivery models. My professional interests include pedagogy, critical theory, educational psychology, and social justice issues.

I will start work on my Ed.S. in Educational Leadership at KSU this Fall (2012). I graduated in 1996 with my bachelor’s degree in secondary education – history from Toccoa Falls College.
