She worked with the Harvard Children’s Initiative in Boston over the summer and then headed to England. She says she loves being in a new place, eating new foods, hearing a “new” version of English and meeting new people. Alli is teaching a wide range of children from older, elite kids in politics and then younger kids with a history of learning disabilities at the Stowe School in England. She prefers the latter and is taking on extra lessons with them to better understand techniques and perfect her own style of teaching such children. Alli’s overarching goal while there is to move high school students to think beyond their everyday lives to make them ask questions about what it means to be a citizen of the school community and then what it means to be a citizen of the global community particularly since the US tragedy in September. She is meeting with other faculty members there to make a plan; a very big project. We wish Alli the best of luck in sharing her own understanding of the global community that leads us to world peace.
