About Jessica

I am a detail-oriented professional with PhD in literature and a stellar record in verbal/written communications, persuasive presentations, and meticulous research. I currently hold a position as a high school faculty member in English, teaching core curriculum and upper level electives.

I am a skillful developer of strategic content and communications that continually surpass expectations due to my sharp eye for detail (spelling, grammar, style) and my ability to meet tight deadlines. I have a demonstrated proactive management style and exceptional leadership skills for effectively resolving problems in a fast-paced environment. I am an expert instructor, curriculum developer, and communicator who has been recognized for my skills in interacting with people from diverse backgrounds, cultures, and professional levels.

I earned my PhD from the Duke University Graduate Program in Literature in 2021. I hold certificates in College Teaching, Interdisciplinary European Studies, and the Emerging Leaders Institute from Duke University. I earned my MA in Comparative Humanities from Brandeis University, and a BA in Comparative Literature, European Cultural Studies, and English from Brandeis University.

About the lesson

Collaborative

My approach is, above all else, student-centered. It is important to me that students, especially young students like my first grade Hebrew school students or K-12 music camp students, are included in the implementation of their own education. I greatly value their feedback in my course development. I include midterm and end-of-semester reviews in each class I teach, soliciting evaluations on course materials and my instruction techniques. I find that openly collaborating with students to meet their needs makes students of all ages feel more responsible for their writing and learning processes.

Holistic

I enter any lesson with the understanding that my students have rich lives outside of the classroom that inevitably inform the way they learn. My pedagogical approach is to meet students where they are, show compassion for their personal circumstances, and continually update my approach to meet accessibility needs. My intention is to every day assess student strengths and abilities, recognize and learn about diverse learners, focus on problem-solving and group work as critical methodologies for student development, and offer varied and motivating assignments with student input.

Multi-modal

I have spent as much time teaching K-12 students as I have university students, and I continue to learn exciting ways to teach from both groups. Teaching first grade religious school gave me a deep appreciation for very short attention spans and the kind of work it takes to maintain student focus. Multi-modal teaching is the best way I have found to keep students of varying ages engaged in learning. This means that I regularly vary the medium and mode of learning in my classroom. It can be a small change—having students stand up and sit down to break up the tedium of listening—or a big change—shifting from a lecture to student peer-review workshop. Multi-modal teaching also involves changing the technology of learning—creating a cognitive map on a whiteboard, reading out from a textbook, or having students take personal time to write. These types of variances keep students interested in the course topic, and provide numerous opportunities for differential participation in classroom activities.
