Truedson J Sandberg

TRUEDSON J SANDBERG holds a Master of Arts degree in English Literature from Brigham Young University (BYU). Before joining the Walden family, he worked as an adjunct professor in the English Department at BYU and, before that, as a law clerk in the chambers of Justice Christine Durham at the Utah State Supreme Court. In addiction to education, Truedson has published poems in Inscape Journal and has worked on several editorial teams. He is currently a faculty advisor for Teen Voices, Walden’s literary journal. Truedson is an advocate of genre based and problem-posing pedagogy. His classroom approach aims to help his students take apart and put back together both the genre they’re working in and their own beliefs and arguments. Truedson's past courses include: Language and Literature 9/10 and 11/12, Walden's Young Writers' Workshop, Gardening and Philosophy, Pop Culture and Philosophy, Mock Trial, Science Fiction, Literature and Film, B-Movies: It Came from the Drive-In, and The Literature of Marx and Engels.

Austin Simcox

AUSTIN MICHAEL DuBOIS VENTURINI SIMCOX holds an MS degree in Curriculum and Instruction from Western Governors University and a BS degree in Teaching Social Sciences from Brigham Young University. He grew up on the other side of the country in Columbus, Ohio and now lives in Provo (much to his surprise) with his cats and assortment of house plants. At home, he enjoys video games, good books, cooking, and crocheting. Although he’s usually a homebody, you may occasionally see him on the stage in a community theatre production or in a local coffee shop planning his summer travels. Austin believes in making school a safe place for students to have new experiences, integrate their interests into the curriculum, and experiment with the complexities of community. He strives to create an open, inquisitive classroom.
