Ms. Rello-Anselmi began her career in her home borough of the Bronx more than 40 years ago at P.S. 108 where she served as a special educator, resource room teacher, assistant principal, and principal. As principal, she led inclusion efforts and ensured all educators were teachers of reading which resulted in significant improvements in student learning outcomes.  After 28 years at PS 108, Ms. Rello-Anselmi became the Deputy Regional Superintendent for Special Education of Region Two and then as Cluster Leader for Cluster One.

As a result of these collective efforts and partnerships with families, achievement and graduation rates for students with disabilities have increased with a decrease in the dropout rate. Ms. Rello-Anselmi’s belief in the power of the student-teacher relationship and its impact on students’ academic and socioemotional growth are at the core of her work in advancing the Shared Path to Success as a part of the Department of Education’s Equity and Excellence for All charge.
