My Students

The high school students I work with come from a wide range of cultural and socioeconomic backgrounds, and they make up a truly exceptional group of unique and promising individuals. The school philosophy is one of project and community-based learning, so our students develop into engaged, empowered and proactive citizens.

Our school culture is small and close-knit, so students become comfortable expressing their wonderful uniqueness in a safe and supportive community.

One of the most rewarding parts of my role is watching a student arrive new to our school insecure and reserved, and find themselves in a few short months embraced and dropping their walls to reveal their amazing uniqueness.

My Project

In order for students to better understand the world around them and how they are connected, I'd like to read this collection of short stories from around the world together as a class.

I've found that reading together is the best way to get students inspired about literature and reading, and to help the material to come alive for them.

This anthology is a collection of some of the greatest writers' voices from around the world, and I'd like to have a copy for each student to read. We will read together, engage in discussions about the text, and think critically about our world.
