My name is Shirna Baptiste and I have had the privilege of being part of I.S. 381 for the past 3 years.
I believe every child is unique and deserves a caring, inspiring, and engaging atmosphere in which to grow emotionally, intellectually, and socially. As an educator I want to help students meet their fullest potential in these areas by providing a safe, risk-taking, and collaborative environment.
Mr. Barkan 
Mathematics Teacher
BA Communication, University at Buffalo 2006
MSED Math Education, LIU Post, 2010
Hobbies: Reading, movies, cooking, watching/playing most sports, hanging out with friends and family
My name is Mr. Barkan and I am currently a 6th Grade Math Teacher here at I.S 381. I have been at the school since February 2019, but have been teaching in some capacity since 2010. I enjoy teaching all levels of math but I enjoy teaching middle school the most.
I first decided I wanted to become a teacher when I was in college when I got the satisfaction of hearing about all the students success they were having in math after I was done tutoring them. I have my Master's degree in math education and I love to teach both children and adults math. I cannot wait to help future students become better mathematicians and to enjoy math a little more than they previously have.
I grew up on Long Island and have both a brother and a sister I am very close with. I am very family oriented and try to bring that into my classroom. I always try to make everyone feel comfortable while they are in my class, so they are not afraid to come to me about problems they are having in class or on the material that is being taught.
Outside of school I like to read, play and watch most sports, and spend time with family and friends. I also like to tutor whenever I can and volunteer during the holidays.

Ms. Mannino’s passion for education lies in the idea that every child has a unique path to achieving high standards and that equipping children with the skills and confidence necessary to meet and exceed their own goals fosters independence and empowers them to make their own informed decisions as citizens in our local and global communities. Ms. Mannino is currently in her 7th year of teaching middle school science. She is passionate about adapting her curriculum so that all students feel connected to the content and that their thinking about the natural world around them has been challenged. For the last three years, Ms. Mannino has worked with the Teachers College Reading and Writing Project at Columbia University to write a curriculum that incorporates reading, writing, and research skills, along with social action components, into her project-based science units. She has a deep knowledge of science literature for children and has spent the last 6 years curating both digital and physical science libraries for her students. Ms. Mannino has additional experience as an academic coach and one-to-one private tutor for the NY Living Environment Regents exam, and previously served as a co-teacher and state exam scorer for middle school math. She is a 2018 National Endowment for the Humanities Scholar and a 2019-2023 Math for America Master Science Teacher Fellow.
