About
Callahan still teaches First-Year Seminar because she wants to meet students before they learn to hide confusion. Teacher Preparation Studio pairs lesson design with observation in partner schools; Leadership Lab and Nonprofit Finance are for students who will run something real with a restricted gift and a board packet. She was a high-school principal for six years and writes like one: clear, dated, and specific.
