Social Studies & Civics
My name is Jamie Stone-Saccenti and I am passionate about inclusive and meaningful learning experiences for every student. My current role as the District 75 Social Studies & Civics Coach allows me the opportunity to guide educators in providing a high-quality, accessible education that builds critical thinking, historical understanding, and civic participation skills. Through collaboration with colleagues across the district, my work centers around interdisciplinary and thematic connections between Social Studies & Civics and ELA, Mathematics, Science, the Arts, and PBIS.
Since 2010, I have taught students from PreK through adulthood in special class, inclusion, and day habilitation settings. In an effort to grow my own expertise and best support students, I maintain certifications in Special Education, Social Studies, English Language Arts, and TESOL. As of Summer 2026, I will have completed a Doctorate of Education (EdD) in Curriculum and Instruction with a focus on multigrade classes.
I believe that learning is most powerful when it is relevant, joyful, and empowering. In addition to my commitment to equitable and engaging pedagogy, I enjoy candid photography, historical and science fiction, and word puzzles. Come find me if you want to talk about teaching with comics, Project-Based Learning, or District 75 Debates!
