Class Experience

In this four-week class, learners will be introduced to four unique types of note-taking - the outline, mind-mapping, the Cornell method, and T-charts. Students will learn about the different styles and when each type is effective to use. Then, learners will listen to a mini-lecture and practice using each type of of note-taking. We will discuss their experiences and students will receive feedback on their notes. By the end of the class, learners will be able to determine what type of note-taking to use for various situations, and will be able to effectively take notes using those formats.

Week 1: Introduction to Note-taking and Discussion of its Importance / The Outline Method
Week 2: Mind-Mapping / Using Color to Organize Notes 
Week 3: The Cornell Method / Using Notes to Review Materials
Week 4: T-Charts / Review and Discussion of all Methods

Teacher expertise and credentials
Hello and thank you for taking the time to learn a little bit more about me as an educator! I have been teaching students of all ages from little kiddos to middle school, high school, and adult learners for over 20 years in various capacities. I have a BA in English from Western Washington University, a Master in Teaching from Evergreen State College, and a Master in Transformative Language Arts from Goddard College. I've taught in juvenile detention centers and prisons, in traditional schools, in online programs, at community colleges, in daycares, and even as a homeschooling mom! I've also worked as a director for several different educational programs. 

I believe strongly in the transformative power of language and its ability to create change both within us as individuals as well as within our communities and society. I love when I witness a student find just the right words to express how they feel or come alive as they read a poem to a class! In my teaching I encourage students to find their own voices and use those voices to write about what matters most to them. I believe in meeting students where they are at and developing learning from their existing passions. I think everybody has the ability to be a writer, even if they don't know it yet!

I look forward to working with you and engaging in fun and thought-provoking writing assignments!
