***I'm taking a sabbatical from teaching until the Fall 2024 to recharge and pursue some personal projects. I'm looking forward to returning refreshed and energized.*** 


🪜Through a brief writing sample created during class, I can observe many strengths and weaknesses that are happening in your writing.

🏜️Written analysis posted within classroom following Writing Assessment class meeting. This meeting is following by a second meeting where teacher meets with the student  and goes over strengths, weaknesses, and neutral areas. Then the tables turn, and the student is allowed to rip the teacher's three minute writing to shreds. :)

Teacher suggests two meetings in succession:
Meeting 1 Writing Sample Created & Evaluation via Conversation
Meeting 2 Turn the Tables, Now Student Gets to Evaluate Teacher's 3-minute Writing

Profile
Teacher expertise and credentials
Bachelor's Degree in English from Grand Valley State University
I have taught middle and high school English Language Arts for 17 years. I have taught English literature and composition for advanced students preparing for private high schools with even higher aspirations of attending ivy league schools. I have taught at all grade levels from grades 4 through 12. I have tutored adult college students in these areas as well. I have taught students with minimal English and have taught seventh grade students who read at first grade level. I have achieved great success for myself while completing courses in my doctoral program.
