On this episode of EduCatered, Shawnee is joined by Ann Kaufman, Personalized Learning Advisor at ASU Preparatory Academy, or as we call it, ASU Prep. Ann previously spent time as a counselor and also at the Arizona School for the Arts. We recently observed a class she was teaching at the new ASU Mix facility.

I think this is what I’m called to do […] build community, taking time to really get to know students and letting them get to know me […] allowing them to get to know me as a person, getting to know Ann instead of just some teacher.
