Teaching Artist Legacy Statement
In my teaching role, I inspire children to embrace and understand their emotions as a powerful tool for personal growth. Through engaging activities and open dialogue, I empower them to recognize the value of vulnerability and trust in their emotional journeys. My approach fosters a supportive environment where every child feels validated and empowered, helping them discover their inner strength and celebrate their uniqueness.

Testimonials
"Rob's energetic lessons and the way he gained their trust for students to open up to him was inspiring to watch. The children enjoyed the games and did not have a problem expressing themselves to him as well as in front of their peers too."

Description
As I expressed before. Using this digital language runs the gamut of SEL based upon how encouraging students to use this form of communication to speak about their emotions. This helps create connection with their fellow classmates and teachers.
