Debra Solomon Baker
Introducing Ms. Debra Solomon Baker...
This will be my 28th year teaching at Wydown! Formerly a Literacy teacher, I am in a new role-- teaching Exploratorium for our gifted learners and a project-based learning elective called Da Vinci.
I have two children, Max, who went to Ladue (!) and graduated with a degree in Journalism from Mizzou, and Sarah, who is working for the National Institute of Health in Bethesda. She graduated from Davidson in North Carolina.
This summer, I traveled to Connecticut to attend a conference on creative ways to challenge all of our learners. Then, I took a train to New York City to spend time in the Metropolitan Museum, Central Park, and Broadway (where I saw a performance of Six). I grew up outside of NYC, so, in many ways, it still feels like home.
I am a writer, a runner, a crossword enthusiast. However, most importantly, I try to be a careful listener, sister, mother, and friend. Last spring, I had an essay about cicadas published in a literary journal called Glacial Hills Review.
