Sarah Levine
Executive Director of STEP, Stanford Teacher Education Program (STEP)BioI am the executive director of the Stanford Teacher Education Program (STEP). Our STEP faculty and staff prepare teachers for leadership in and beyond the classroom. Teachers learn to help their students develop knowledge, skills, and sense of self and community as we work to understand the connections between culture, teaching, and learning.
Before pursuing an academic career, I taught secondary English at a Chicago public school for ten years. While there, I founded and ran a youth radio program that used digital audio production as a tool to help make writing and analysis relevant and real-world for students, and to build bridges between in- and out-of-school worlds.
My research focuses on the teaching and learning of literary interpretation and writing in under-resourced high schools, with an emphasis on the links between in- and out-of-school interpretive practices. I am also interested in ways that AI and digital media (for example, natural language processing models like ChatGPT; visual representations of text like word clouds; and radio production) can be used as frameworks for teaching reading and writing to middle and high school students. -
