In today's diverse classrooms, educators hold a pivotal role in fostering inclusive environments that prioritize the experiences and well-being of students from non-dominant cultures. As an educator, I am committed to upholding the principles of inclusivity and equity in my classroom.
I am also committed to embracing an atmosphere of joy and excitement. To quote Ben & Jerry’s co-founder Jerry Greenfield, “If it’s not fun, why do it?” Like Jerry, students have a hunger for fun in their daily lives. In my classroom, students can expect exciting and diverse delivery methods paired with culturally responsive content.
Additionally, I bring years of experience in the professional field of performing arts with me into the classroom. I believe that it is important to connect student learning to real-life applications. I am committed to keeping students engaged in relevant coursework that will serve them in today’s (and tomorrow’s) theatrical climate.
