“Leveraging Fidgets for Enhanced Engagement in TESOL Classrooms: A TPR Approach” by Touro University TESOL Candidate Carly Croteau

I am very proud that my student Carly Croteau was selected to present at Touro University for the first GSE Shines Conference.

Carly Croteau graduated from SUNY New Paltz in 2021 with a Bachelor of Science Degree in Early Childhood and Childhood Education, concentrating in Spanish and minoring in Deaf Studies. As a dedicated student-athlete, Carly played on the varsity field hockey team for four years, serving as team captain for three of those years. In September 2022, C. began teaching fourth grade while pursuing a Master of Science Degree in Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages (TESOL).

Nathan Public Policy Fellowship (2024-2025). As a Fulbright Scholar and SIT Graduate, she was selected to be a U.S. Department of State English Language Specialist. Her expertise in AI in education is underscored by her role as an AI trainer and former Education Policy Fellow (EPFP™) at Columbia University's Teachers College. As a columnist for Stankevicius, she explores Nicomachean Ethics at the intersection of AI and education. She has contributed to initiatives like Computers for Schools Burundi, served as a resource specialist for Amity University in Uttar Pradesh, India, and participated in TESOL "Train the Trainer" programs in Yemen and Morocco. Her research interests include simulations and metaverse for educators-in-training, AI applications in education and language acquisition and teaching, and distributed ledger technologies, with a focus on her 'Education for 2060' theme. In conclusion, my commitment extends beyond transactional interactions, focusing instead on utilizing my skills and privileges to make a positive, enduring impact on the world.
