She starts every class by asking how the students are doing, what\u2019s going well in their life, and finding out where they might need help or support. While she values learning and deep intellectual conversations, she adjusts assignments or class schedules if she finds students suffering mentally and\/or physically. Their well-being is her number one priority.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dr. Jason Lantzer\u2019s nominator included the following: \u201cAs a parent, I appreciated that he both knew she could use some down time and that he knew what her favorite show was.
