December 12, 2022
This week’s first Staff Spotlight goes to Mr. Jack Hans. This is currently his ninth year as a Brooklyn City School District staff member, but all together, this is his thirteenth year of teaching. In his free time, he can be found playing golf, reading Sci-fi books, and watching the “greatest” sports franchise in the history of the world — the Cleveland Browns. Something that you may not know about Mr. Hans is that he absolutely loves French fries.
Q: What made you want to become an intervention specialist?
A: “When I was in college, I took a class about special education, and they had us go and visit classrooms. Teaching kids with special needs was my favorite.”
Q: What is one aspect that you love about your work day?
A: “I like getting to have students for three or four years in a row rather than having new students every year.”
Q: How do you go about handling a situation when a student is struggling?
A: “This is why I like being an intervention specialist; I like to find new ways of teaching that accommodates them so they understand it.”
Q: What is the most rewarding aspect of your job?
A: “Getting to see the students make progress over a couple of years.”
Q: What does a typical day look like for you?
A: “We do all four subjects here. We start out in the morning doing math, then computer learning games, then they have practicals and lunch. After lunch, they go to recess, and then we come back and do English Language Arts. After all of that, we do science and social studies, depending on what month it is (going back and forth). Then at the end of the day, they get to go home, and I get to relax!”
Q: What has impacted your life the most?
A: “Having a family who supports me.”
