Sarah Tan began her journey as an educator when she facilitated a college-level class on intergroup dialogue and conversations around diversity while attending Carleton College. In that role, she learned what education should truly be - a means to not only grow intellectually, but also as a human being and an active participant in this world. Sarah believes that education comes from the world around us. It is the job of educators to pull forth and cultivate the knowledge and skills that our students (regardless of age) have gathered and collected from their own life experiences. 

As a performing artist and drama educator, Sarah strives to build compassionate classroom cultures regardless of the curriculum or content taught. She encourages her students to take healthy risks to provide opportunities for growth emotionally, socially, and intellectually.
