Chelsey Hausch is an educator with over a decade of experience who views education as a powerful tool for equity, empathy, and sustainable change. Her core philosophy is rooted in the belief that “English is everywhere”—a discipline that connects all subjects, cultures, and human experiences. Through interdisciplinary teaching, she helps students see English not just as a subject, but as a bridge to understanding the world and their role in shaping it. Chelsey’s love for storytelling began in childhood, listening to her parents read aloud, and continues today as she reads to her own children. This lifelong relationship with stories has shaped her belief in literature as a powerful tool for connection, reflection, and transformation. Chelsey holds a Master of Science in Educational Psychology from the University of Wisconsin–Madison and a Bachelor of Arts in English and Secondary Education. She is also a National Board Certified Teacher. These experiences have strengthened her commitment to student-centered learning environments that foster critical thinking, creativity, and compassion. She has taught in diverse educational settings, including public, rural schools and juvenile correctional facilities—experiences that led her to adopt culturally responsive teaching, restorative practices, and trauma-informed approaches. Through interdisciplinary collaboration, she has developed curriculum that uses literature to explore real-world issues, connect across content areas, and foster community building, emotional growth, and resilience. To Chelsey, Educational Sustainability means equipping students with the knowledge, skills, and values to create a more just and sustainable world—an evolving set of ideas she is eager to examine further through her doctoral studies.
