Ms. Sagal is excited to teach at BASIS Independent Fremont “because the rigorous curriculum encourages students to think beyond memorizing words on a page.” She believes that students reach true learning when they are allowed to process and solve problems in a safe environment. Ms. Sagal wants to give students the analytical skills, writing skills, and knowledge to solve puzzles they’ll face both inside and outside of school.

When she is not teaching, Ms. Sagal enjoys reading mystery and fantasy novels with a cup of coffee, birdwatching at her local park, and playing with her cats.
