Teacher, Lodi High School | Lodi, NJ
Science teacher Virginia Fasulo received a Milken Educator Award on October 13, 2023.
With a background in the medical profession, Fasulo first began teaching through the American Cancer Society before moving into the classroom. Fasulo strengthens career pathways at Lodi High School, teaching 10th - 12th graders Pre-Med Survey, Dynamics of Healthcare and AP anatomy. Instrumental in creating the Pre-Med and Agriculture curriculum, Fasulo focuses on hands-on and inquiry-based instruction. Part of her classroom is set up as a hospital room with mannequins and 3D software to diagnose, along with equipment for exercise science. She connects students with real-world career experience, including opportunities to observe surgeries, and CPR and Stop the Bleed emergency first-aid training. In addition to department professional development, Fasulo leads Lodi’s biology and astrophysics clubs, a pre-med club, and a HOSA - Future Health Professionals chapter.
Fasulo earned a Bachelor of Science in biology from SUNY Albany in 2006, a Master of Public Health in epidemiology from SUNY Albany School of Public Health in 2010, and a Master of Arts in teaching from William Paterson University in 2015.
