Description
Class Experience
This class is taught in English.
Students will increase their reading comprehension skills in fiction, non-fiction, poetry, and speeches weekly by engaging with a different piece of grade-level writing on a weekly basis.
I have taught English Language Arts and ESL at the middle and high school levels for nearly 13 years. I hold a BA in English Language and Literature and an MA in ESL with a focus on theoretical and applied linguistics. Prior to my full-time work with students online I served as an instructional coach, reading interventionist, Friday School principal, and Secondary English Specialist for a large school district. I hold an active teaching license as well as a K-12 principal license. My focus areas of expertise are English Language Arts (reading, writing, speaking), American and Historical Literature, Common Core standards, ESL, Social and Emotional Learning, Project-Based Learning and Evidence-Based Instruction.
