Hello! My name is Ms. Johanna Roman, and I am proud to serve as a Preschool Instructional Coach in the Perth Amboy School District. This is my ninth year in Perth Amboy, and I am thrilled to continue being part of such an inspiring and dedicated community of educators. I have been in the education field for the past 16 years and look forward to many more. 

I earned my Bachelor’s degree in ESL Education from the Interamerican University of Puerto Rico. Later, I obtained my Preschool through Third Grade Certification and a Master’s degree in Instruction and Curriculum with a focus on Bilingual/Bicultural Education from Kean University. One of the proudest moments of my career was being recognized with the NJ Governor's Educational Services Professional of the Year Award at Edmund Hmieleski Jr. Early Childhood Center during the 2021–2022 school year. 

In my role as a Preschool Instructional Coach, I support teaching staff in maintaining high-quality instruction through classroom visits, reflective feedback, and ongoing collaboration. I work closely with our Early Childhood Supervisor, school administrators, and the preschool coach team to plan and implement professional development that aligns with the NJ Preschool Teaching and Learning Standards, district goals, The Creative Curriculum, and classroom quality assessment data. 

My educational philosophy is grounded in the belief that all children are capable of achieving academic and social success during their early school years. It is my honor to work along with the teaching staff to provide guidance and support, ensuring that we provide our students with the necessary tools for them to succeed and have the most memorable preschool experience.
