Why Dan is running for BAA: This is my 13th year teaching at BAA. I love it, and I think BAA is a great community. We really get to know our students as individuals, and create an educational journey that really empowers them towards their goals. My focus is on professional-level skills education, and giving students real responsibility and independence as they work backstage on our shows. I'm also very proud of helping design our new building, which is a facility custom-designed for learning, access, learning, and empowerment. I ride a bike to school every day, even when we were in our temporary home in Fields Corner.
