For our first teacher of the day, we'll be profiling Will Stewart. This is Will's second year as a teacher and his third overall with SEP, as he was a counselor for one year before becoming a teacher.
Will teaches two classes: Biological Classification and Linguistics, both for 7th and 8th grade campers.
So what are your classes like? Can you describe them for us?
In Biological Classification we learn about animals and evolution. In Linguistics we learn how to break down language in order to understand more about its use.
What's something about you that someone might not expect if they didn't know you well?
In real life I'm actually a biology teacher.
What about teaching at SEP made you want to come back as a teacher?
It's a very fun, laid back place to work. Everyone in the camp from the director to the counselors to the campers are so, so cool and smart.
What is one of your favorite memories from past years?
When I was counselor, I really enjoyed suite time at the end of the day.
What do you think is the most difficult part of the job?
First session.
What do you think is the most rewarding part of the job?
Third session.
What do you think about gifted education?
Often forgotten, not to be ignored.
Given infinite supplies and opportunities, what sort of class would you teach?
I would take the class on a field trip to the Galapagos Islands.
What's your biggest pet peeve?
Surveys :)
