CAILEY MASTRANGELO AND YU LUI

In the fall, Brewster bestowed its highest faculty honors, the Arthur Morris Kenison Faculty Awards, to Cailey Mastrangelo and Yu Lui. Mastrangelo (left) was honored with the award for Career Growth. She has worn many hats in her short time at Brewster: Spanish and ELL teacher, dance instructor, advisor, soccer coach, basketball coach, curriculum writer, community life parent, and more.

Lui, the Mathematics Department Chair, received the award for Excellence in Teaching. “Yu has served Brewster for more than two decades with consummate professionalism and care for his students, while also creating wonderful ways to have healthy fun for the whole community,” Head of School Kristy Kerin said, adding that he has served as a dorm parent, a gregarious game show host, and a maestro of movies… always making sure students are having fun and keeping engaged in their learning.

STEVEN DAVIS

World Languages faculty member Steven Davis has been awarded the highly selective Klingenstein Summer Institute Fellowship for Early Career Teachers. For two weeks this summer he lived with other independent school teachers from around the world for an intensive exploration of curriculum, pedagogy, and assessment design, informed by current research and practice in three key areas: mind-brain education; equity, inclusion, and belonging; and socialemotional learning.

Advanced Studies Director and History Department Chair Dr. Marta FilipFouser served as a panelist at the Council on Standards for International Educational Travel Summit. In her session, “Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion: Teaching and Acknowledging with Global Students (TAGS),” she shared her research and practice as it relates to international students within the DEI framework. “It was great to have an opportunity to present my research to a wider audience of stakeholders—mostly organizations that recruit international students,” she said.
