Class Experience

Students will learn how to "unpack" the complex language of assignment and standardized test questions.  This strategy can be used in all subject areas.  The class will start by being introduced to my original, time-tested and verified graphic organizer and strategy.  First I will do a couple of demonstrations, then we will practice with various examples of standardized ELA, Social Studies, and Science test questions.  To check for mastery, students will be given a few questions to unpack on their own before we review the correct interpretations.  Students will then share a question from an assignment they might be struggling with and we will work through it as a group.

Learning Goals

Students will learn to analyze and comprehend academic questions so they will have a better chance of giving an accurate answer.

Other Details

Profile
Teacher expertise and credentials
I am a teacher who loves children of all ages, who loves teaching, who loves learning, but who has really never enjoyed school.  I have taught in major inner-city schools, rural schools, and suburban schools.  I have taught English, math, science, social studies, humanities and career classes.  I have taught special, ESL, bilingual, general, advanced/honors, and gifted class.  I have a Master’s of Science in General and Special Education for Middle Grades and have spent my career teaching grades 6-9.  I have also taught ages 2-8 years old because I love the little ones.   I have a special knack for helping students struggling with various attention deficit disorders.  I love hiking, reading, science (especially astrology), traveling, and all things nature. I credit my eighteen years of teaching success to my love for making and learning from mistakes and my philosophy that you learn best when you're having fun!
