On this innagural episode of the Essential Element podcast feautring Christian Paige, Robin Jaecklein shares her experience with being a teacher and mentor at the Tacoma School of the Arts and the Grant Center for the Expressive Arts before that. Christian dives into her passion for dance as an artistic medium and how she uses that passion as an individual to fuel her interest in helping young people find their own passions. Educators bring so much of themselves into the classroom both as people and as teachers, and Robin reminds us that it's a never ending journey of refining that craft and learning how to push yourself to try new and different ways of engaging with students. 

Featuring original music from SOTA Graduates Abbey Meysenburg and Ellia Coggins.
