“At all times, however, teachers are at their best when they become an expert foil for children’s explorations, providing feedback, direction, and encouragement.”
Peter Nowakoski has been English Department Chair since 2018, and named The Peter and Isabel Malkin Endowed Chair in English in 2022. He was excited to share what he learned at the NEH Summer Scholars Seminar at the Polansky Shakespeare Center with our Upper School students. Peter, who has earned graduate degrees in linguistics and literature, did research at the University of Heidelberg. He also studied French cooking at Le Cordon Bleu in France and honed those skills as a chef at a French restaurant in New Jersey for 12 years. But his real love is teaching!
