Barbara Pauli, our First Grade teacher at Providence Christian Academy, is a dedicated Christian who has been a successful private, public, and homeschool teacher.  She is also committed to teaching children to love and serve the Lord, and has been teaching Sunday School since the age of 16.

 

While teaching in New Jersey she published under the federal Right to Read grant, twice presented at the New Jersey Teachers' Convention in Atlantic City, and also presented to the Piaget Society of Philadelphia.  She also started the first public Preschool in New Jersey.  Her forte was in recognizing, correcting, and preventing cognitive perceptual motor dysfunctions.

 

Upon moving to Massachusetts, she saw a need for her students to learn about the character of Christ through teamwork, cooperation, and supporting and encouraging others ahead of themselves.  She quickly developed A Rubric for Responsible Behavior, which was based on the character of Christ.   The Lord blessed this work, and she presented this rubric at the 2002 Teachers Institute for Franklin and Hampshire County as Bullying Prevention.

 

Barbara is delighted to have this opportunity to help raise up the next generation at Providence Christian Academy to love and serve the Lord.
