Strobel excels in class, on the diamond
TEACHER EDUCATION HONORS ACADEMY
As she finishes her junior year at CSI, Raechel Strobel has a running start on her teaching career. This native of Staten Island has completed six teaching internships, including four at the high school level where she plans to teach.
“I’ve learned that successful teachers have their own style, and that I have to develop my own style,” she says. “The key is to prepare well and make lessons interesting for your students.”
A member of the Teacher Education Honors Academy, Strobel says she is inspired by the teamwork she has seen among teachers in her most recent internships.
“Most teachers now collaborate with other teachers during their prep periods,” she says. “It’s a great way to learn from others and find new ways to improve your lessons.”
A Dean’s List student, Strobel recently received a scholarship award from the mathematics department at CSI. She credits Dr. Jane Coffee, director of CSI’s Teacher Academy, for her guidance.
“Dr. Coffee expects a lot and gives even more,” Strobel says. “You can tell she loves math, and as her student you’re going to want to love it as much as she does.”
Away from the classroom, Strobel excels as shortstop for the CSI softball team. A slick fielder who has hit over .367 this season, she was named a first-team selection on the CUNY all-star team.
“I like playing shortstop because you’re always involved in the game,” she remarks. “I get the chance to pick up the team and help us get through innings.”
