US Grade 7
I will be teaching Grade 7. We will use a workbook and use screen share to complete and teach the lessons. We may use games, slides, video, images, manipulatives to teach the material. I will be using the interactive whiteboard on Zoom so students are encouraged to share their responses using a mouse, in the chat box or using a drawing tablet. Previous Grade 6 Math knowledge would be recommended because the curriculum moves quite fast. Tentative schedule. Pacing of class content is subject to the understanding of learners for that week.

Parental Guidance
We may use Google Forms, Google Docs, Google Slides and Google Sheets, for teaching our class and for informal assessments during our class. Student may require a Gmail account to use them. Google Docs and Google Slides may be used to present the notes while Google Forms and Google Sheets may be used for informal assessment. Youtube may be used to help clarify a math concept or formula.
We will use Zoom Screen Share to show the notes and also allow student to annotate on the notes. Student can also participate by typing their response in the chat in Zoom.
For class notes, I will be using Zoom Screen Share to share the class material in class. Students will be predominately writing in their own lined paper, notebook, or worksheets. Occasionally there will be worksheet that will be required to be printed out at home to complete for extra practice and those will be attached to sent to parent before or after our session.

Teacher expertise and credentials
Bachelor's Degree in Education from University with concentration in Math and Science
I have over 17 years of teaching experience in classrooms and in one to one tutoring settings. I believe in lifelong learning. I graduated with a Bachelor of Education in Elementary with a Math and Science specialization. I also completed a Diploma in Early Years Education, Certificate in Kindergarten, Diploma in Special Education, and Certificate in TESL (Teaching English as a Second Language). I have worked with student ages from Pre-K to Grade 12.
I believe every student can learn and each student may learn differently. My job as an educator is to teach students and provide them with new challenges that stimulate their own thinking and inspire them to enjoy learning.
