• Language Arts Teacher

  • Jul 2018 - Aug 2020

  I teach Language Arts, character development, and life skills to at-risk students who need a little extra help, smaller class sizes, or behavior management strategies. My classes have 15 students per class, and each student is placed in our academy with intention. The goal is to inspire students to succeed in ways they may not have been succeeding in a regular classroom. I am responsible for preparing lessons for four different subjects (7th and 8th ELA and 7th and 8th Literature), teaching those lessons, and then assessing my students' success at state standards. I am interested in ensuring that my students learn behavior strategies and character development, so they can be engaged and thoughtful members of society. My biggest goal is to help them become better readers, so they can use the written word to help them succeed. My students have a lot of "street" or learned knowledge, but they need to match their "book" or academic knowledge to the same level. If they could, they would be unstoppable.

• Instructor of Secondary Language Arts

  • Aug 2009 - May 2014

  In addition to exceeding expectations in the classroom as evidenced by students’ high pass rate for their required standardized tests, each year I also presented several training opportunities for my colleagues, including a GLBT+ SafeZone training. I was responsible for creating and implementing curriculum decisions. My focus was on innovation and collaborative learning, hoping each day to learn as much from my students as they learned from each other and from me.
