Jeff Symonds

Jeff Symonds, M.A., is the Director of Teaching and Learning and Tukman Distinguished Teacher of English and Music at The Branson School in Ross, CA. In his 28 years there, he has worn just about every community hat; most recently, he has helped to design a Shakespeare and Social Justice class that gives students the opportunity to work with inmates at San Quentin, and helped design and write the school’s strategic plan. Jeff is also a musician who has played a gig in 47 of the continental states (apologies to Alabama).
