Queen's Educational Resources

I'm Kathy Dahdal, formerly an English Language Arts teacher with 15 years of experience in New York City public schools. During my tenure, I worked with a diverse range of middle and high school students in the vibrant community of the Boogie Down Bronx. Now, I proudly serve as a high school assistant principal, wholeheartedly embracing my role as an educational leader.

In a student-centered classroom, I acted as a facilitator rather than a lecturer. My lessons were designed to actively involve students in the learning process, fostering critical thinking, collaboration, and creativity. Instead of simply delivering information, I created opportunities for exploration and discovery.

My accomplishments have been acknowledged by various publications, including the Riverdale Press, a weekly newspaper focusing on the vibrant communities of Riverdale, Kingsbridge, Kingsbridge Heights, and Van Cortlandt Village in the Northwest Bronx. Additionally, I've been featured in Shout Out Atlanta, VoyageATL, Bold Journey, and Voyage Ohio.

After graduating from Herbert H. Lehman College, I began my journey as an educator. Since then, I've obtained two master’s degrees, one in English Education and another in Literacy Education. Thirteen years into my career, I pursued further education, completing a rigorous 24-credit Education Administration Certification Program at the College of Saint Rose in Albany, New York. Administered by the Center for Integrated Training & Education (CITE), this program led to the attainment of both my New York School Building Leader (SBL) and School District Leader (SDL) Certifications.

In addition to creating content, I also operate as a clipart and digital art seller, collaborating with skilled artists from across the nation. I share my ideas and visions with these creators, who then bring them to life through their artwork. Once a concept is finalized, I secure full copyright ownership of the artwork and distribute it through my own stores. This work brings me immense pride as I have the opportunity to provide a diverse range of art to fellow creators worldwide, representing various cultures and art forms. Moreover, it allows creators to incorporate my artwork into their own creative projects. I, Kathy Dahdal, as the proprietor of Queen's Clipart Gallery and Queen's Educational Resources, am the sole Copyright Owner and authorized seller of ALL clipart/artwork available in this store. In addition to my passion for education, I cherish moments spent with my family and beloved dogs. Whether it's cozying up on the couch for movie nights, staying active with exercise, experimenting in the kitchen with cooking, or taking leisurely strolls, these activities bring joy to my life. I also find solace in diving into captivating novels, where I can immerse myself in entirely new worlds and realities.
