My work at PVPA included teaching academic courses in the language arts, teaching performing arts classes in the theater department, and development of ideas and programs related to integration of performing arts into the academic classroom. I have created standards and benchmarks for both academic and performing arts classes, supervised a home team, and carried a full load of advisees. For the last year of my time at PVPA I was the ninth grade Language Arts teacher with responsibilities for curriculum development and cross-discipline programming. Show less

Other projects include language enrichment programs for pre-school classrooms, problem solving and respect for diversity in elementary schools, and theater training to develop social language skills in students on the autism spectrum.

SWP provided assembly programs, student trainings, and in-services for faculty and staff at colleges, universities, secondary and elementary schools, military bases and service academies. Our focus was on various social consequences of alcohol and tobacco abuse. We used a comedy/vaudeville performance to discuss these issues in a non-judgmental way as a means of targeting high-risk students. SWP presented its programs to approximately 30,000 students per year over a ten year period.
