In addition to her role in the classroom, Vered mentored new faculty and collaborated with colleagues on curriculum design and pedagogy.

 

Vered is proud to continue teaching writing through CentreScript. Working one-on-one with students, Vered provides the kind of individual attention and care that are hallmarks of her teaching approach. She encourages her students to find meaning in literature, cultivate their creativity, and emerge from high school with a passion for learning. CentreScript, named after her hometown of Newton Centre, MA, fosters the deep, meaningful connections with students and families that have always been central to Vered's educational practice.
