Meet our Faculty

Potomac's benefits are many but perhaps the most appealing is Potomac's commitment to and generous funding of professional development. Some of the opportunities available through Potomac's Professional Development program include the following: graduate work toward a Masters or a Doctorate; entering a course of study in fields other than one's discipline; international travel for on-site study; funding for conferences, workshops and curriculum review and redesign. —Sheila O., Dean of Faculty

Yes, the teacher-coach model is important to how we get to know our students. Coaching helps you to gain a more holistic knowledge of your students. Often kids are more at ease on the field and as both teacher and coach you can have a more positive impact. —Ian H., Upper School History Teacher

Potomac is a warm and engaging community! I love the relationships that I've been able to build here with my students, their families and my colleagues. I also very much appreciate that it's a place where we all, students and teachers alike, are encouraged daily to develop our skills, stretch our thinking and lead lives that exemplify the pursuit of life-long learning. –Christine M., Lower School Academic Technologist
