Eric Allatta — Teaching Portfolio

Welcome!

I’m an experienced teacher-leader who has spent the past decade designing, building, and refining hands-on, equitable computer science and math programs in NYC public schools.
Through teaching, coaching and curriculum design, and tools development, I have helped entire departments—and whole schools—grow stronger, more coherent, and more supportive for students and staff alike.

Areas of Focus

Teaching & Learning

Authentic, Accessible Projects
Rigorous and creative CS/math curricula—including capstone projects, integrated algebra supports, and real-world data science experiences—for students of all backgrounds.

Systems & Tools

Infrastructure that Amplifies Good Work
Custom-built grading platforms, engagement dashboards, communication systems, and other “invisible glue” that made mastery-based, student-centered practices actually sustainable.

Team Development

Collaborative Growth
Led multi-year department efforts to align mastery standards, co-design rubrics, and build a culture of project-based learning—while mentoring new teachers and supporting cross-team planning.

Featured Projects

• Mastery Rubrics Aligned Across CS + Math
  Facilitated design and implementation of shared mastery grading standards.
• Data Science Research Project
  Full-cohort data investigations with real-world datasets and public presentations.
• Schoolwide Dashboard Systems
  Built custom spreadsheets that streamlined grading, attendance, interventions, and parent outreach—visible at the admin, team, and student levels.

About Me

I believe that schools should be places where students feel powerful, teachers feel supported, and systems work quietly in the background—not against the people in them.

When we try to pick out anything by itself, we find it hitched to everything else in the universe. — John Muir
