Kathryn Levenson

Levenson's innovative teaching, "You've Got Skills/ Life Skills" focuses on helping to prepare students for their lives outside of an academic context. With the Voya Grant, Levenson plans to launch a lesson plan on her school's online learning platform pertaining to various aspects of one’s life beyond school. The program involves healthy coping mechanisms, personal finance, resume building and writing, interpersonal relationships, taxes and more. Levenson's goal is to prepare her students to care for themselves adequately in not only an academic sense but a domestic sense as well. By helping students balance their lives, Levenson is working against the toll of poor mental health and ill preparation to create a better society of well-rounded individuals.
