Manager of Teacher Initiatives, The Phillips Collection

In partnership with University of Maryland, I teach the continuing education, hybrid-learning course Connecting to the Core Curriculum: Building Teacher Capacity for Arts Integration through Prism.K12. I teach PK-12 educators how to blend the visual arts seamlessly into the core curriculum, while reaching students with multiple learning styles.
