Breshaun-Birene Joyner has a master’s in children’s literature and is currently pursuing a doctoral degree in Shakespeare pedagogy. Her passion for teaching is matched only by her desire to continually learn how to be a better educator. To that end, Breshaun is always creating curriculum rooted in her professional and personal passions such as Afrofuturism. Breshaun taught Afrofuturism as an upper school honors course and looks forward to teaching this short but dense and impactful class to adult educators across the country. Breshaun brings her personal teaching philosophy, the E3 Principle, to the Colloquium, which is that a person learns best when exposed to new concepts and ideas, is engaged in enjoyable and critical thinking activities, ultimately, leading to enlightenment.
