Leadership

 

 

Ms. Mosely joined the College Prep team in February 2017 with over 18 years of experience in the New York City Department of Education. Under her leadership, graduation rates have increased significantly and students are going to top tier colleges upon graduation. She believes in the importance of advancing intergenerational economic mobility and has invested in securing apprenticeships for students at some of the most prominent corporations in New York City. Students begin their exposure to college as early as grade 6 and accelerate, beginning in 7th grade, to earn three Regents exams and high school credit before moving up to our 9th grade. She is an experienced and committed mathematics educator that believes all students can achieve their dreams if given the absolute best support and education. In 2016, she was honored to be inducted into the NYC Leadership Institute, a group of outstanding city agency executives, to lead organizational change initiatives. In June 2022, ACPCE was privileged to be named a winner of the 21st Century Learning Center Community School grant by the New York State Department of Education.

Mr. Cochran brings more than fifteen years of prior experience as an educator to College Prep, including five school years as the AP-for-All Master Teacher at the Erasmus Campus. With many years of experience teaching AP US Government, AP Macroeconomics, AP World History, AP US History, AP English Literature, and AP English Language, Mr. Cochran has a passion for guiding students and teachers to ask questions, to collect & rely on evidence, and to collaboratively problem-solve. He has a passion for storytelling, and he loves knowledge for its own sake. He works daily to ensure all students see school as a place where they are loved, where they can engage, and where they can grow.   

 

Mrs. Mohagna-Klein's passion for education can be seen through her active involvement with both staff and students. She specializes in the humanities, and is well versed in instructional development. Her constant energy, enthusiasm, and support for those around her contribute to the overall positive school environment.
