What do I teach at BISS?

I don’t teach English—yet literature is at the heart of my discipline.

I don’t teach History—although I encourage students to investigate the

social and historical implications of events and how they affect those with

whom we live.

I don’t teach Science—but introduce the analysis of human behavior,

society, and the natural world.

I don’t teach Math—yet evaluating structure, space, and change is a skill

constantly being developed.

I don’t teach the Visual Arts—although calling on the elements of form,

line, shape, color, texture, space, and value is commonplace.

I don’t teach a Foreign Language—but my students learn to decode and

encode dialogue in scripts and plays.

I don’t teach Music—yet rely on the elements of pitch, melody, harmony,

rhythm, dynamics, timbre, texture, and articulation to share this craft.

I don’t teach Technology—but foster the use of tools to control and adapt

to the work we do.

I don’t teach Physical Education— although working as part of a team

while making connections between cognitive functions and physical

movement is a major benefit of this process.

What do I teach at BISS?

I teach Drama.
