mcdonald's all american 2018 box score S.K. Duff: National Life Group LifeChanger of the Year Nominee

http://www.LifeChangeroftheYear.com

Mr. Duff is a champion of the arts, youth engagement, and social justice. He is a force for education in his school. Many children have art teachers, but S.K. is not your normal art teacher. He has won numerous awards for his teaching ability. Locally, he was recognized as Teacher of the Year at Hoboken Charter School. At the state level, he received the New Jersey Governor's State Teacher's Award. Nationally, he has won awards such as the Walt Disney HAND awards, top 100 creative teachers in America, and ranked as the #2 teacher in America by the P. Buckley Moss Foundation for Children's Education.

In addition, he is accomplished in his own right as a practicing artist, poet, actor, and performance artist. He has not only had his own gallery exhibits, but he has also curated shows, including a show featuring his students’ work in a gallery. Mr. Duff has been a gallery director and an art critic, too. His students’ art is professional-looking, regardless of their artistic talents.
In addition to teaching art, S.K. has another side to him through his role as the Director of Service Learning at HCS. He has traveled to Mexico, Peru, and various places in Africa to help with clean water initiatives, build health centers, etc. These trips serves as an impetus for his own art, the art of the students, and other classroom initiatives. He creates curriculum based on civil rights, homelessness, and the world water crisis, to name a few issues. Then he creates, organizes, and runs events around these topics that the children, parents, and community have the opportunity to participate in. If that isn't enough, he then provides his curricula and trains teachers across the country.

It’s this kind of activism that led SK to meet his colleague and nominator, Patricia Hall, at the 2007 National Youth Leadership Conference in Albuquerque, NM. Hall had recently founded H2O for Life, whose mission is to provide water and sanitation for partner schools in the developing world. At the same conference, S.K. met a young Tanzanian teacher who told him of the struggles of not having enough water for his students, and the fact that there were no toilets at his school. His students were constantly ill, and the task of collecting water literally fell on the backs of girls, which kept them from attending school. S.K. was determined that he and his students could take on this problem and make a difference. In the 2007- 2008 school year, S.K. joined forces with H2O for Life. For the past decade, S.K. has worked with H2O for Life to educate his students about the global water crisis and the local and global impact of water. Through his initiative, Hoboken Charter School has provided funding that has changed the lives for thousands of kids in developing countries, and has impacted the lives of Hoboken students and their community.

Another example of S.K’s activism relates to the Holocaust. After a number of lessons on genocide from the Holocaust to Darfur, the students embarked on making sun-catchers to sell. With the profits from the sun-catcher sales, they purchased “solar cookers” to prepare breakfast for a parent association meeting, charging a small fee for the solar-cooked meal. The money raised from the breakfast supported the Solar Cooker project as initiated by the UN and Jewish World Watch. The students’ fundraising purchased solar cookers for women and children living in refugee camps in Chad. The cookers helped them to be self-sustaining and kept them from having to leave the camps to collect fire wood.

Finally, S.K is the "artsbridge coordinator" for middle school students at HCS. In this role, he teaches courses that are both art and service-learning based. Two recent examples were "You Go Girl," marrying art and feminism to empower middle school girls, and "Monkey Business: An Answer to Apathy,” to address issues related to the humane treatment of animals. In this role, he also hires and supervises outside teaching artists to teach courses as well. S.K. accomplishes all of this in a nurturing atmosphere. He loves working with children, and to be an art teacher was a life-long dream of his.
