• A Little Bit about Mrs. Conklin

    Below is a snapshot of my journey as an educator:

    • I grew up in Scarsdale and attended Greenacres Elementary School
    • From a young age, I knew I wanted to teach; my mother and many close family members were teachers
    • I spent my Junior year of college abroad studying Education at Oxford University
    • I earned my B.A. in Elementary Education from Goucher College
    • I earned my M.S.Ed. in Reading K-12 from Fordham University
    • I recently became certified in Educational Leadership and Administration, both at the building level and at the district level
    • This marks my 31st year teaching: 6 years in private boys' schools and 25 years at Heathcote
    • Over my teaching career, I have taught grades K, 1, 2, and 3
    • I have immensely enjoyed giving back to the Scarsdale community some of what helped secure my foundation, both educationally and personally
    • When my son, Kenny, was born, I took a year off to be with him... He is now 18, a SHS graduate, and a Freshman at Indiana University!
    • And, I have found it especially rewarding teaching through the eyes of both a parent and a fellow Scarsdale parent!
