Special education teacher Amanda Borwoski helps her students find their superpower. 

In a recent interview about her returning to teaching, Borowski had a lot to say about how she feels about her students, her main goals as a teacher in Triton’s TLC 18-22-year-old special education program, and how she helps her students find their “superpower.” 

“It’s really important, being able to instill that in them,” said Borowski. 

Borowski graduated from Berklee College of Music with a degree in singing and business before returning to Salem State University to earn her degree in special education. She said she has always enjoyed school and learning and her favorite class in school was Spanish.

“Everyone learns differently,” said Borowski, adding that it is especially important that teachers “adapt to students different learning styles.”

Borowski began her work teaching as an instructional assistant teacher 16 years ago, then moved on to teaching, which she did for 10 more years. 

Amy Holland was “thrilled” that Mrs Borowski has joined their TLC program and praised her positivity and problem-solving skills.

“She brings many years of experience along with a fun and loving approach to learning,” said Holland. “I am most thrilled that she has had experience working with adult agencies that many of our TLC students will likely benefit from, so she is a great resource for families as well as an experienced teacher who can best prepare students for life after high school.
