Danielle Dymond

My passion for teaching courses on literature, composition, and critical thinking is matched only by my passion for writing, since I am both an educator and a poet. I work diligently to create a classroom environment that is inclusive, surprising, useful, interesting, and fun. My teaching philosophy is simple: All of my classes are designed in such a way that students can feel encouraged while also being challenged intellectually to be stronger writers and thinkers by the end of our semester together. My hope is that students who complete my classes take their newfound knowledge and apply it to both their professional and personal lives, because English education has so much to offer. As a professor, I promise to fully dedicate myself to the betterment of every student who joins my roster. Let’s learn something together!
