Teaching Philosophy
Important skills I want to teach my students
I want to teach my students public speaking, teamwork, and adaptability.
Teaching methods to reach these goals
I use project based learning, with theater training based on Spolin, Alexander, Viewpoints, and Fitzmaurice techniques.
My favorite project
Our scene study! We work on scenes together, highlighting different tech elements based on the grade level. It is so fun watching them create characters and design for the stage.
What I like best about teaching at Seven Hills
The people!
