"Over the past two years, Britt has created an exceptional classroom culture, where she pushed her students to grow both as people and as artists. She has high behavioral expectations and enforces them while conveying a love of art and learning. Each time I observed her instruction, I was impressed by how excited her students were to learn and how genuinely excited she was to engage in lessons with them. Britt has been a school wide leader in developing strong relationships with her students. She genuinely listens to her students and cares about them beyond their artwork; she cares about them as they develop as individuals."
