Preiser, Ms. Karen

English

A lifelong resident of Scarsdale and a graduate of Scarsdale High School, Karen Preiser holds a
BA in English and an MA in Curriculum and Instruction. A perpetual student, she has earned
more than 50 graduate credits beyond her Masters as a Dodge Fellowship recipient studying at
Wesleyan University and a National Endowment for the Humanities recipient studying in
Oklahoma with teachers from across the United States. A public school English teacher for many
years, Ms. Preiser now enjoys the low student- teacher ratio of her classes which enables her to
know each student individually and listen to every opinion. She never teaches the same course
twice, always changing the books students read and the assignments. “English is constantly
evolving and the choices are endless so it is a challenge to find the most rewarding material for
each class. I love working with teens as they are the hope for the future of the world with their
optimism and energy creating new paradigms as they seek to discover solutions to the problems
of today. They inspire me.”
