About Mrs. Spadafora
I am so excited to start my seventh year teaching! During my time at Defino, I have taught special education in grades K-5. I obtained my Bachelor's Degree in Psychology and Master's Degree in Special Education from The College of New Jersey. I am dual-certified in Special Education and Elementary Education, and I am also a Board Certified Behavior Analyst. I love helping students reach their full potential academically, socially and emotionally!
I got married in May of 2022 and just recently changed my name, so you may already know me as Miss Havens. I am so excited to see familiar faces in my classroom this year, as well as meet some new ones! When I am not teaching, I enjoy going to the beach, reading, and taking walks with my dog, Kona.
I am looking forward to an exciting school year full of learning and fun!
