I work very hard to create inclusive and immersive classroom cultures where diverse students feel comfortable to respond to questions without fear of judgment or reproach. I tend to keep an informal classroom because I find if I am more relaxed, then so are students. I find most students thrive in this atmosphere and can allow themselves to do more creative thinking than they might otherwise. 

​

Creativity is important to me and something I require of my students. We are all creative. Through creative assignments, students are free to use skills they might not otherwise use in a literature classroom. While some students may feel challenged or apprehensive about creative assignments, when they actually complete the assignments, most tend to feel proud that they could in fact do something which they had previously doubted they could do.
