slightly belated event along with Assemblywoman Aravella Simotas. 
Sadete exemplifies the originality and creativity needed to be a great 
teacher.
  Sadete currently works at the Legacy High School, a state-sponsored 
charter school for children with learning disabilities on Roosevelt 
Island. Sadete is an IEP coordinator and English teacher with over 13 
years of experience in education, including six years as Education 
Director at the Muslim American Society Ibn Sina Community Center. 
Sadete believes that every child deserves a safe educational 
environment in which to learn and grow and recognizes that each child 
has something unique and special to offer to the world.
  Sadete has worked on projects to help improve schools, such as school 
change projects, restructuring school growth and goal setting. Her 
efforts as an educator and administrator have led to the development of 
school-wide teacher development and the creation of programs to enhance 
classroom instruction.
  A dedicated educator who constantly strives to improve her ability to 
communicate with students and colleagues, Sadete takes every 
opportunity to learn new techniques and new ways to encourage her 
students to succeed. Sadete has completed many credential programs to 
supplement her skills, including the FDC for Leaders credential program 
where she learned to empower the work place, encourage cultural 
competence and promote supervision with skill and heart.
  Sadete devotes much of her time to the MAS Ibn Sina Center where she 
directs an after-school program that offers homework help and tutoring 
for up to 300 children, oversees women's fitness and wellness classes, 
conducts arts programs for adults and young people and teaches ESL 
classes. Sadete has demonstrated strong leadership skills, overseeing 
the budget, recruiting, hiring, training and managing staff, 
spearheading marketing and awareness programs, fundraising and 
mentoring young people. Committed to supporting the students, parents 
and staff of the MAS-Ibn Sina Center, Sadete works to help them reach 
their full potential academically, socially and physically.
  Through education, Sadete touches the lives of thousands of young 
people, helping instill confidence and a love of learning. We are truly 
fortunate to have someone as committed, enthusiastic and resourceful as 
Sadete, helping to make our community a wonderful place to live.
  Mr. Speaker, I ask my colleagues to join me in recognizing the 
dedication and hard work of Sadete Mujovic, an educator whose passion 
and skill is reflected in the achievements of her students.
