Teaching Philosophy:
Jennifer believes literature is the core foundation of all learning. We learn more about ourselves, others and the world around us by engaging with fictional worlds that emerge from varying contexts. The study of literature enables us to recognise the strength and resilience of humanity and leads students to tap into their own growth and morality as part of a worldwide community.
