“Arts Education is important,” Davis writes, “because it's another way of teaching academic and life lessons to students in ways that may better reach them.”
Teaching Superpower: “Having grace under pressure.”
“An unforgettable TAT Lab moment was putting myself into a kindergartener's head and exploring a storytelling learning plan. It was fun and informative. I also learned a lot about visual art learning plans which have always fueled my curiosity.”
