HUMANITIES
Jared Kallen earned his undergraduate degree from Amherst College and his graduate degree in Secondary Education from the University of Pennsylvania. He also did significant work at Harvard and Columbia Universities to expand his knowledge and content base. Throughout his extensive education, he has taken numerous courses in English, History, Political science, Sociology, Anthropology, Psychology and Philosophy.
As a student, Jared delved deeply into the humanities disciplines. As an educational coach, his goal is to inspire and enable students to move beyond the surface level to grasp and communicate complex concepts.
Jared believes students experience the “ah hah” moment when they endeavor to connect concepts, symbols, motifs and themes and discover how these operate together to make a piece of literature richer. In History, students must link cause and effect and connect past events to present-day events. Delving deeply into the materials makes students of interest to teachers and places them in the position for greater academic success.
