Prior to that, she served as a founding teacher, Assistant Principal and Principal of the Academy for Young Writers, an unscreened, public 6-12 secondary school in East New York, Brooklyn.\u00a0Under Courtney\u2019s leadership as Principal, Young Writers took significant\u00a0steps towards expanding opportunities for young people, including increasing the number of AP courses offered, creating multiple STEM pathways for students of all abilities, developing a nationally-recognized 6-12 Gender-Sexuality Alliance to empower and give voice to LGBTQ+ students, and establishing a student-led Restorative Justice program.\u00a0\u00a0Courtney believes in the power of personal relationships in academic achievement and that students achieve at far higher rates when they feel connected to a community.<\/p>\n<p>Courtney grew up across the United States and spent her high school and college years in the Pacific Northwest, earning a Bachelors in English from Lewis &amp; Clark College. A passion for urban education drew Courtney to join the NYC Teaching Fellows in 2004 where she earned her Master\u2019s in English Education from Lehman College CUNY. Courtney lives in South Orange, NJ with her husband of 17\u00a0years, David, their two children, Henry and Eleanor.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/div>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-2raxt1-0a11887b05940ba0131ad63a640388d8\">\n.flex_column.av-2raxt1-0a11887b05940ba0131ad63a640388d8{\nborder-radius:0px 0px 0px 0px;\npadding:0px 0px 0px 0px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='flex_column av-2raxt1-0a11887b05940ba0131ad63a640388d8 av_one_half  avia-builder-el-4  el_after_av_one_half  el_before_av_section  avia-builder-el-last  flex_column_div av-zero-column-padding  '     ><style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-kpo7k7sh-98c1947177b46400db13694bf3f17417\">\n.avia-image-container.av-kpo7k7sh-98c1947177b46400db13694bf3f17417 img.avia_image{\nbox-shadow:none;\n}\n.avia-image-container.av-kpo7k7sh-98c1947177b46400db13694bf3f17417 .av-image-caption-overlay-center{\ncolor:#ffffff;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='avia-image-container av-kpo7k7sh-98c1947177b46400db13694bf3f17417 av-styling- avia-align-center  avia-builder-el-5  avia-builder-el-no-sibling '   itemprop=\"image\" itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/ImageObject\" ><div class=\"avia-image-container-inner\"><div class=\"avia-image-overlay-wrap\"><img decoding=\"async\" class='wp-image-2356 avia-img-lazy-loading-not-2356 avia_image ' src=\"https:\/\/nycsel.com\/defining-us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2021\/06\/Courtney-1-1030x687.jpeg\" alt='' title='Courtney 1'  height=\"687\" width=\"1030\"  itemprop=\"thumbnailUrl\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nycsel.com\/defining-us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2021\/06\/Courtney-1-1030x687.jpeg 1030w, https:\/\/nycsel.com\/defining-us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2021\/06\/Courtney-1-600x400.jpeg 600w, https:\/\/nycsel.com\/defining-us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2021\/06\/Courtney-1-300x200.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/nycsel.com\/defining-us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2021\/06\/Courtney-1-768x512.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/nycsel.com\/defining-us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2021\/06\/Courtney-1-1536x1024.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/nycsel.com\/defining-us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2021\/06\/Courtney-1-1500x1000.jpeg 1500w, https:\/\/nycsel.com\/defining-us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2021\/06\/Courtney-1-705x470.jpeg 705w, https:\/\/nycsel.com\/defining-us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2021\/06\/Courtney-1.jpeg 1996w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1030px) 100vw, 1030px\" \/><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><!-- close content main div --><\/div><\/div><div id='av_section_2'  class='avia-section main_color avia-section-small avia-no-border-styling  avia-bg-style-scroll  avia-builder-el-6  el_after_av_one_half  avia-builder-el-last  single-solid-area  container_wrap fullsize' style='background-color: #2961ad;background-image: linear-gradient(to right,#2961ad,#00adee); '  ><div class='container' ><div class='template-page content  av-content-full alpha units'><div class='post-entry post-entry-type-page post-entry-2357'><div class='entry-content-wrapper clearfix'>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-ketpbu4p-79c3f180552f2efac23ee87881734cbd\">\n#top .av_textblock_section.av-ketpbu4p-79c3f180552f2efac23ee87881734cbd .avia_textblock{\nfont-size:22px;\ncolor:#ffffff;\n}\n\n@media only screen and (min-width: 480px) and (max-width: 767px){ \n#top .av_textblock_section.av-ketpbu4p-79c3f180552f2efac23ee87881734cbd .avia_textblock{\nfont-size:20px;\n}\n}\n\n@media only screen and (max-width: 479px){ \n#top .av_textblock_section.av-ketpbu4p-79c3f180552f2efac23ee87881734cbd .avia_textblock{\nfont-size:18px;\n}\n}\n<\/style>\n<section  class='av_textblock_section av-ketpbu4p-79c3f180552f2efac23ee87881734cbd '   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/CreativeWork\" ><div class='avia_textblock av_inherit_color'  itemprop=\"text\" ><p style=\"text-align: center;\">&#8220;There is nothing more sacred than the power and the influence of a teacher in his or her classroom.
