Stephen Deguara

Stephen believes that the most effective teaching is that tailored to the student, and that aims to connect the student with the material in the most effective way. This often leads Stephen toward a “tapestry of pedagogy” approach that believes project-based learning with other forms (kinetic, etc.). For example, when teaching Shakespeare Stephen usually employs the “Folger method,” which involves acting out the plays. Stephen is dedicated to mentoring students through centered learning, personal connections, structured academic tasks, and continuous feedback, recognizing these elements as essential for student growth and development. Stephen’s greatest source of pride lies in witnessing his students develop a genuine love and passion for English Language Arts, empowered with the ability to apply their critical thinking skills to the world around them.
