  Mr. TOWNS. Mr. Speaker, Mae Powell of Brooklyn is an exceptional 
human being and educator. Born in North Carolina, Mae has resided in 
New York most of her life. She is a graduate of Brooklyn College, and 
currently serves as a special education teacher in district 13. Mae has 
been an educator for over 30 years. An innovative educator, she 
subscribes to the shared learning approach.
  Mae's colleagues have elected her to serve as a U.F.T. union delegate 
and as district screening committee member for the selection of school 
administrators. A crowning achievement in Mae's portfolio is her 
dedication to fostering the entrepreneurial abilities of young people.

embodies the attributes of academic achievement, community service and 
professional dedication. I am pleased to recognize her selfless 
efforts.
