Robert Bassett: A Teacher with Artistic Vision...
A Literary View of Life... Hello! I'm a 31 year old teacher/poet/actor, from Monrovia California, USA. The works of this great playwright, show up from time to time, as I teach the future cast of this play called "Life"...Shakespeare expresses life in a multi-caste, logical sense. He is a true artist of words, and the condition of the human psyche. He has 'teachable moments' strewn throughout his great works. I use these moments, as well as many other literary works, to illustrate the links, or bridges that literature produces between reality (life) and fantasy. They give a great model to follow, and help us silly mortals understand that life is an art, a job, and something to be thought out, and planned, just as often as it is spontaneously lived!






This is me (a while back).

I hold two degrees; A BA in Education; Emphasis in Drama/Theatre, and Special Education; And as well, a BFA in Theatre; Emphasis in acting and directing. Both are from Pacific Lutheran University in Tacoma, Washington.

I currently attend California State University at Los Angeles, for a California teaching credential in Special Education; And as well, a Masters Degree in Special Education; Emphasis in Mild to Moderate disabilities.

I currently teach in a Special Day Class in my hometown.
