I am committed to a revolutionary teaching praxis. I build my curriculum around student-centered pedagogies and cultural criticism by selecting instructional materials (essays, articles, books, music videos, TED Talks) which unflinchingly name and critique the violent, elitist, racist, oppressive ideologies embedded in our country's moral fabric. In addition to encouraging students to draw upon their experiences and their prior knowledge, I challenge them to wrestle with their ideas. I excel at supporting students' critical and analytical thinking skills with the goal of fostering their growth as they develop into semi-autonomous learners. I am an engaging communicator with a proven track record in cultivating inclusive, safe, and accommodating learning environments. One of my greatest strengths is building strong personal and professional relationships. I disrupt regimented modes of learning by showing up as my full self every. damn. day. I form bonds with my students. I use humor and wit to cultivate a safe, fun, expansive, welcoming learning community. While I am experienced working with high school students, I am looking to support undergrads.

Calandra is an excellent teacher. She’s patient and caring and always goes above and beyond to make sure I understand something. She gives careful attention to my work and shows that she cares about what I have to say. I would recommend Calandra to anyone who is looking to grow in their academic English.
Because she actually talks and takes the time to talk to her students
