My name is Maureen Thiede, ESOL teacher here at Braddock ES.  I have been working as an ESOL teacher for over twenty years in the U.S., as well as abroad.  I was born and raised in Verona, NJ.  I have a Bachelor’s degree in Sociology, from Caldwell College, in NJ.  I received my Masters of Science in Education, with a concentration in ESOL, from Fordham University, in NY.

          I have two girls, one in high school and elementary school.  As a family, we like to ski, swim, travel, skate, and watch movies! I have lived on four continents and my girls three continents.  I look forward to another exciting year here at Braddock.
