Helping students prepare for the real world
Enzil Cooper
Enzil teaches beyond traditional content to prepare students for real-world experiences. He believes that 21st century skills like empathy and human connection can give students valuable insights into themselves and the world. For instance, his drama exercises help students explore emotions and personal boundaries through nonverbal communication, fostering deeper understanding and empathy. Enzil sees this approach as essential for developing global competence, encouraging students to act locally while maintaining a global perspective.
