Vision statement: When I am teaching, I try to help students think critically about the world around them. I know not every student will analyze literature as a career, but we all spend our lives analyzing the world around us. My desire is to help students grow their analytical skills in a fun and interesting way. I believe all students should be allowed to share their voices as they shape their identities and find their places in the world. In class, we study how humans act and interact with others. It’s my hope that by looking at literature, we can bring empathy to our interactions with others and ultimately brighten the world around us. Finally, by studying how to write, we can learn how to communicate our thoughts in an effective way.
