This greatly improves their belongingness and thus their ability to meaningfully engage in the community.

Getting to know them on a holistic level, in addition to who they are as learners, sets them up for success in school and beyond!

I love to focus on connection in my classes. Every student is different and comes into each class with a variety of backgrounds, skills, and experiences. Making art is an act of vulnerability, and working to get to know my students and discovering the many facets of who they are makes it possible for them to step into their vulnerability with more willingness. I work to create a space that encourages risk-taking and embracing failure so my students can reflect and grow. I do this successfully by modeling what I’m asking for from my students. In visual art, we “learn the rules before we can break them.” Each class is scaffolded with various strategies and skills for each student to develop and build, which empowers them to grow into their highest creative practice and process.

Lots of schools say they believe in lifelong learning, but Flint Hill actually means it. When I, as an English teacher, said I was interested in teaching physics, Flint Hill helped me prepare for the Praxis exam, sent me to workshops, and gave me time to shadow the current physics teachers.
Indiana University, B.S.
To create an environment where students thrive, I strive for consistency of expectations and routine. When students understand the goals and intentions of the class, it creates more time for learning and more opportunity for engagement. Once routine is established, students feel more confident and supported in taking risks within all types of lessons and discussions. Not only do students have more time for learning in this scenario, but I also have more time to meet student needs.
