Teacher: Ms. Allison
Hello! My name is Allison Rose. I attended the University of Michigan and obtained my bachelor's degree in English with a teaching certificate in English and Psychology. After graduation, I had the opportunity to work with secondary students (grades 9-12) in both charter and public schools amidst diverse learners where I was able to collaborate with colleagues to develop curriculum in addition to conveying my passion for literature to students in the classroom. At Questabox, I have been privileged to work with students creatively and help them refine necessary skills with writing and analyzing literature.
