Let's learn about Shabbat! This class includes teacher presentation and learner participation. Learners are invited to ask questions and to share what they know about Shabbat throughout the class meeting. In this secular class I begin with a historical description of the weekly holiday of Shabbat, the day of rest. After this historical overview, I present how Shabbat is celebrated in modern times. My discussion of a modern Shabbat celebration does not discuss religious precepts or beliefs but describes Shabbat tradition and refraining from work and the special bread (challah) that is served on Shabbat. To end the class, I invite learner questions. I look forward to teaching about this day of rest and hope you will join me to learn about Shabbat!

Welcome to my classroom!
For 30 years I've helped students appreciate literature, develop their rhetorical and creative writing skills, and better organize and complete tasks. A central goal of my teaching & coaching is empowering students with strategies they can make use of on their own, and in each class I encourage students to participate fully in our sessions together by contributing to class discussions and asking questions.
I have a Bachelor's Degree in English Education, a Master's Degree in Literature, and a Doctorate in Curriculum and Instruction. My current class offerings include literature studies, book clubs, creative writing and formal essay writing classes, and Executive Function coaching.
When I'm not teaching, I love spending time with my family and traveling! :)Reviews
