PHILIP COHEN

Thank you so much for this incredible honor! My philosophy of education summary is:

I believe that all people can learn. I pride myself on consistent communication and planning with students and their families. Post-secondary transition plans are of the utmost importance to develop, adapt, and execute with fidelity. Helping students become their "own bosses" is a crucial part of the process which leads them to gaining as much independence as possible. The educational process truly takes a village and I have been blessed to work with incredible students, families and educators throughout the years. Thank you so much for this incredible honor, it is a true reflection of the amazing village at Cheltenham High School.
