Anastasia has been a teacher for 11 years, following a decade in medical writing and an undergraduate degree in comparative literature, past experiences she leverages to create curricula that intereweave science and the humanities and engage students in the deep systems-thinking that is a hallmark of Acera. One of her favorite core classroom themes centers on the concepts of trade and piracy, integrating experiential learning around history, science, and economics to explore the essential question “How do societies create and assign value?”
Anastasia’s favorite thing about Acera is the ever-present opportunity for connection and learning with children; her favorite student question is one that can be answered with, “I don’t know, let’s find out!” In her free time, Anastasia explores the world vicariously through books and first-hand through travel and scuba diving.
