Chloé Parker
Year of graduation: 2017
Major: French
Update: After graduating from BMCC, Chloe transferred to Hunter College, where she completed a double major in French Literature and Childhood Education. She then earned her M.A. in Bilingual/Bicultural Education at Teachers College, Columbia University, and received three job offers as a bilingual K-12 educator, including the position of Second Grade French Dual Language classroom teacher at the Clinton Hill School /PS 20, which she accepted in June 2021. Her first year at Clinton High has been both challenging and rewarding. “I have been surrounded by love all day long, and I see the growth and achievement of every student,” she reports. She was also rated an “effective first-year teacher,” an accomplishment she plans to continue to expand as she will work on her 30-plus differential credits this year. She hopes to start her own French Afterschool Program soon
