Alum Corey Paul is Empowering Neurodiverse Students Through Media Arts
Alum Corey Paul, MA ’18, has been on a transformative journey at P17X High School in the heart of the Bronx. In 2022, he received an Adolescent and Special Education Master of Science for Teachers through Pace University’s partnership with NYC. Last year, an exciting opportunity emerged for Corey when he was appointed Media Arts Specialist at P17X High School.
Corey is committed to creating a nurturing environment where neurodiverse students can thrive creatively in the classroom — he crafted a curriculum that resonated with their unique perspectives and abilities. Under Corey’s guidance, students in this newly formed media arts program launched a media communications studio that produces news broadcasts called “Shine on News,” which involves an eager student team of newscasters, a camera crew, and sound and lighting experts.
