Khan-Page Master Teacher Award 2015 - Mario d’Azzo
As legions of students, and faculty members, will attest, Mario’s love of teaching and the Italian language is manifest in all he does, and it serves to both inspire and motivate them in their studies. He is a Renaissance man whose musical talents, athletic interests, and commitment to family and TASIS flow together in a life well led. - taken from the Headmaster’s citation
{
As regards my own philosophy of education, I consider myself an open and flexible person, conscious that patience and enthusiasm beside solid preparation can be a guarantee of high results.
The Khan-Page TASIS Master Teacher Award is named after two outstanding teachers who taught for many years in both TASIS schools: the late Akbar Khan (in Mathematics) and Max P. Page (in English). The award recognizes an outstanding teacher who represents a high standard of professional pedagogy, subject-area knowledge, a capacity to convey the joy and importance of learning to students, and fundamental sympathy with the aims and goals of TASIS as expressed in the Paideia.
