Meet the Teachers and Staff
Andrew Brennan
English Language Arts Teacher
Andrew Brennan graduated with an English degree from Albion College in 2008. The following year, during an unfulfilling stint as a payroll administrator in Chicago, he started volunteering and tutoring at the Howard Area Community Center and soon realized that his calling was the one he had been avoiding all along: teaching. Andrew moved to Indiana in 2009, where he earned his M.A.T. in Secondary Education at Earlham College and taught high school English for two years.
Andrew is particularly excited about joining TI because technology and global awareness have always been important in his classroom. In 2010, Andrew participated in a Fulbright-Hays grant awarded to foster greater dialogue, awareness, and understanding between American, Israeli, and Palestinian students and educators. As part of the grant, he travelled to Tel Aviv, Jerusalem, and Amman – meeting and collaborating with students, teachers, historians, and scholars at each stop. Inspired by his first international experience, Andrew began using Skype to connect his students with classrooms in Palestine and Japan.
In his spare time, Andrew enjoys cooking, reading about music, travel (even short distances), and drinking way too much coffee. As a pro basketball fanatic, Andrew has noticed an uncanny trend, known as the “Brennan Boost” – whenever he moves somewhere new, the local NBA team improves its record and develops into a playoff contender (e.g. Detroit 2004, Chicago 2008, Indiana 2010). He sincerely hopes he has not cursed the 2012-2013 Knicks by mentioning this phenomenon publicly.

Amelia Clune
English Language Arts Teacher
After earning her bachelors from Bard College in political science,
Amelia joined the New York City Teaching Fellows in an effort to raise
student achievement in underserved community schools. She taught for
three years in the South Bronx, and went on to co-teach general
studies for three years at Solomon Schechter School of Manhattan, a
private day school on the Upper West Side. In both of these settings
she worked exhaustively to help English language learners and students
with individualized educational programs access the curriculum by
differentiating instruction and using effective teaching methodology

History Teacher
Robin Courtwright became fascinated with other cultures on her first international trip to Costa Rica at the age of 16. Hiking in the rainforest and staying with host families led her to study anthropology at Smith College. At Smith, Ms. Courtwright also specialized in social work. After graduating from college, she was a social worker that advocated for homeless teens and young adults. She went on to work in higher education administration at a progressive, project-based college. In the summers, Ms. Courtwright managed cultural exchange programs for school groups from both China and Japan. She taught English, worked with volunteer host families, and led a variety of educational trips around New England. Ms. Courtwright was fortunate enough to visit the same schools in China.

Lindsay Fasano
English Language Learner Teacher
Lindsay Fasano has taught in public and independent schools for the past five years. She has taught ESL to all ages and student populations-- from kindergarteners in Seoul, South Korea to students visiting the United States from Italy and Russia and adult immigrants in community outreach programs in New York City.
Life experiences have prepared Ms. Fasano to be an effective teacher for students from other countries. Born in Pusan, South Korea, Ms. Fasano was adopted when she was three months old. She grew up on Long Island, New York and was raised by Italian American parents. By the time she was 15, her curiosity about other languages and cultures led her to spend a year abroad as an exchange student in the Netherlands. Her fascination with other cultures led her to study in Honolulu, Hawaii during college, and after graduation, to move to Korea where she taught English while learning more about her ancestral roots. Living abroad and traveling the world has enabled her to understand the challenges that come with adjusting to life and work in a new country, especially that of mastering a new language. Ms. Fasano's American experiences also inspired her to become a teacher. While she was in college in North Philadelphia, the city's complex urban environment revealed many social issues to her, which she wanted to learn more about through her college studies. She came to realize that teaching was her way to ensure a better future for children. As an educator, Ms. Fasano strives to make students value their education, emphasizing that they can control their destiny. As an ELL teacher, she aims to provide English Language Learners with the tools necessary to succeed academically, culturally, and emotionally in a new language and setting.
Prior to joining TI Charter, Ms. Fasano was a K-12 substitute teacher in charter and independent schools throughout Manhattan and the Bronx. From 2010-2012, Ms. Fasano taught second grade at Horace Mann School, named by Forbes Magazine as one of the top three private schools in America. She also taught third and fourth grade math for Summer on the Hill at Horace Mann, a non-profit Saturday and summer program, which provides educational enrichment and scholarship opportunities for talented students from underserved communities. In 2011, she was awarded a fellowship to participate in the national SEED (Seeking Educational Equity and Diversity) Project for inclusive curriculum. Working closely with Horace Mann's Office of Diversity, she helped develop and lead professional development for faculty on community norms and creating safe spaces for discussion.
Ms. Fasano received her Bachelor's degree in Communications from Temple University and is currently completing her Master's degree in TESOL (Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages) at CUNY Hunter College.

Susan Fine
Curriculum Coordinator
Curriculum planning started for Susan Fine more than 30 years ago when she worked at a summer camp with thematic units each week. A little irony: she had been a camper at the same camp and never imagined there was planning behind the program. Teaching was a natural extension of this early work with students and colleagues, and Susan went on to teach in various independent schools, including the Collegiate School in New York City, where she also served as the English department chair. Throughout her work as a teacher, Susan developed curriculum materials for middle school and high school English programs and wrote a guide for the teaching of research in middle schools.
A product of California public and independent schools, Susan has long sought opportunities to provide for all children the type of education many independent schools offer. In efforts to fulfill this goal, Susan worked as the Director of Content at the Grow Network, an education company whose mission is to use data to drive instruction. At Grow, Susan created materials for teachers, administrators and parents in the New York City and Chicago public schools while also conducting professional development sessions throughout New York City public schools. Recent curriculum work has included high school English materials for the Aspire Public Schools in California. Standards-based English units focused on such works as Chronicle of a Death Foretold and Antigone, all aimed at enabling students to develop the critical reading, writing, and thinking skills that will fulfill the Aspire commitment to "College for Certain." Other projects include developing a professional development program for teachers at the Urban Prep charter schools in Chicago, done in collaboration with Academic Approach, a Chicago-based education company. Keenly interested in the Common Core State Standards and the effects they will have on American public education, Susan aspires to build standards-based, data-driven programs that have clear and innovative answers to the following three questions:
1) What do we want our students to learn?
2) How will we know when they've learned it?
3) What will we do when some of them haven't learned it?
Susan earned an undergraduate degree at Smith College in government and English and has a master's degree in English from Middlebury College and an EdM from the Harvard School of Education. She believes firmly that good teaching, like good writing, results from continual revision and has practiced this principle through participation in such professional development programs as Facing History and Ourselves, the National Endowment for the Humanities summer seminars for teachers, and the Bay Area Writing Project. Further, she is a proud alumna of Summercore. Very much a believer in Nanci Atwell's insight that teachers of reading and writing should be readers and writers themselves, Susan is the published author of two young adult books, Zen in the Art of the SAT and Initiation.
