Doreen Allen

Originally from Jamaica, Doreen found her way to Atlanta after spending several years in New York. She has taught at Temple University and a public school in Philadelphia. She invests lots of time reinventing her lessons so that they are consistently better, accessible, relatable and as enriching as possible. Her approach to teaching involves a great deal of creativity—her students learn a lot through interactive play, song and dance. Doreen lists FSA as one of the best educational environments that she’s worked in because of the intentionality behind its mission, the supportive community and because it gives her the opportunity to take her curriculum to meaningful places in the lives of her students.
