Education

​

"As a teacher, I hold a very high standard for myself and for each of my students. I recognize the incredibly varied lives that each of my students lead and incorporate the whole person into all of my teaching and planning through differentiation and a lot of individual attention.  I believe that it is essential that students are exposed to a shared humanity and thus use theatre, literature, writing, social issues and current events in almost all of my lessons."
