Faculty Spotlight
Lamplighter 34
From the #ASpotlight series as seen on social media. The Communications team has been interviewing faculty over the past couple of years. Here are quotes from the most recent interviews. Hold your phone camera over the QR Code to access the full spotlights.
Susan Lukas, English Teacher “As an English teacher, I can affect the way students understand their world and the people around them, help them to think and to communicate their thoughts clearly, and work with them to develop their sensibilities so that they can appreciate a particular kind of beauty.”
Mary Leonard, Math Team Leader “I like to teach quadratic functions, which are parabolas, to the Eighth Grade. There is a lot of abstract content leading into that unit, but once the boys get into it, it gives a context for a lot of the other things they have been learning. I can see my students making connections to what they’ve learned as well as the world around them.”
Erica Marcus, Third Grade Teacher “I always want to show my students that we are constantly learning and growing. Just because I am a teacher does not mean that I am not also learning. Learning is a lifelong endeavor and I want to impart that to my students.”
Claire Schlegel, Director of Instrumental Music “The best part of our instrumental program is the oneon-one attention that students get with their teacher for an hour once a week… They get to know these instructors well over the years and can feel comfortable expressing themselves in a unique way.”
Jack Cooley, Science Department Head “I, along with the rest of the Science Department, am integrating projects that are connecting the boys to real-life scenarios, if not literally doing research out in the field.”
