Class Experience

Each week we will discover a new style of architecture for building a home. Participants will have time to work on their own exterior and/or interior designs. It is their choice whether they want to draw by hand or use (free version) of floorplanner.com. Teaching methods will include lecture, drawing / designing, slides, video clips, and group discussion. Using break out rooms, participants will be able to discuss each other’s work using a simple and friendly critique/ conversation methodology called wow/wonder/wish.

Wow = I love x, y, z (compliments) 
Wonder = asking questions about the design (clarification)
Wish = I wish your house included an aquarium (gentle critique/ brainstorming/ imagination)

Profile
Teacher expertise and credentials
Over the past nine years of my career as an experiential educator, I have taught every age group from pre-schoolers to retirees in private school, camp, university-level, and more. With a bachelor's degree in Ancient Near Eastern Studies (Brandeis 2011), an M.F.A in Creative Writing (UMASS Boston 2017), and past service as an agricultural extensionist for Peace Corps, Paraguay, I couple knowledge of the ancient world with survival skills, poetry with animal husbandry. 

My classes are learner-centered--I want to know what you are curious about so we can explore together. I care about each of my students (especially in these difficult times) and I hope our adventures together will be nurturing as well as educational. 

My specialties include: Ancient Near East/Mesopotamia, Creative Writing, Literature, Agriculture, Spanish, Hebrew, Guarani (indigenous language), Bible (and its historical context), Recycled Art, Vegan Cooking, WWII, and Judaic Studies.
