English and Theatre

When people ask me what I teach my response is always “I teach kids about the world around them through theatre, writing and literature.”  I teach the whole student I don’t just teach a subject.   My role as a teacher is to guide my students to inquire, to take risks, to think critically and challenge assumptions, to consider both local and global contexts when presented with issues and concerns.
