Class experience

US Grade 3 - 12
Student goals will be identified from the first session and evaluated each session. 
As a former Special Education teacher and over 25 years of working with neurodiverse students, I have a large "toolbox" of proven strategies to help students regain their confidence in themselves and learning. I believe every student is able to learn and use whatever means I can to help them be successful. However, I measure success by progression, not perfection. 

I am a lifelong reader and love to explore the world through books. I have training in Orton-Gillingham, Heggerty, and the Science of Reading and modify the curriculum to fit individual needs. 
Homework Offered
Parents can request daily or weekly homework assignments. These can be graded or for at-home practice. All students are given a free account to education.com to supplement their learning.
0 - 1 hours per week outside of class
Assessments Offered
Formal assessments, session reports, or weekly feedback can be provided as requested.
Grades Offered
Students should have some type of notebook or folder to hold their materials. Ideally, students would have access to a pencil, color pencils or crayons, or even a whiteboard with a marker. I can offer suggestions for the type of composition notebook based on a handwriting assessment.
In addition to the Outschool classroom, this class uses:
I may use carefully curated videos and resources within Nearpod. I will use Nearpod in teacher-directed mode which means students watch through my shared screen and participate through annotation. Nearpod is an approved third-party educational tool. It is rated as excellent through Common Sense Education. You may see their review here: https://www.commonsense.org/education/app/nearpod.

I may also use appropriate youtube videos to help build an understanding of concepts. 

I may also use Readworks through a shared screen. Students may elect to have their own student account for additional reading assignments and activities. ReadWorks is a free website offering research-based strategies and resources for differentiated reading instruction, specifically comprehension. There's a range of fiction and nonfiction texts, activities, and assessments as well as an online platform teachers can use to track student progress.
