What is your favorite thing about working with these students? My favorite thing about working with students are the lightbulb moments they have when a concept finally clicks for them. I love watching their confidence grow as they experience overcoming challenges.
If I could have dinner with anyone (dead or alive), I would choose… If I could have dinner with anyone (dead or alive), I would choose Socrates. I would love the opportunity to learn from him, observe his strategies in questioning, as well as have my own thinking challenged to help deepen my understanding in different areas.
If I could shadow a Franklin alum for the day, what would I hope to learn? I would want to see how they navigate throughout the world once they leave and/or graduate from Franklin. This would emphasize the skills they gained through our program and show me what else we can focus on to help them succeed in the evolving world.
