Damian Haas – EL Teacher

This is my 5^th year of teaching in St. Paul Public Schools. Before that I worked in many fields, including the publishing industry in New York City and a stint of teaching English in Germany. I love working with students and helping them feel comfortable taking risks with their language use. At heart I am 90s skateboarder kid, and despite my age, I still love to take the board out from time to time. There will come a time when I only go to the skate park to watch, but it hasn’t happened yet.
