Kim Allen
Middle School Teacher and Human Rights Activist in New York City
-- We teach from a lifetime of experience and passions.
-- Having taught in Kansas, Rome, and New York, I am both a frontier girl and a New Yorker, whose heart is tied to one global community.
-- Teenagers need models for engagement in the world, and my work with service learning, human rights education, and creative projects have been central to my experience as a teacher and as an artist.
-- My best teachers were my parents.
-- Personally resilient and deeply interested in educational change and curriculum innovation, I don't say, "you can't," but, "why not?"
