Through a partnership and collaboration with the Missouri Department of Elementary and Secondary Education and as an administrative teacher of public educational programs for more than ten years, I have taught English and social studies classes, among other subjects, to middle and high school students. Our curriculum met the Missouri Learning Standards and prepared high school students for college. 

In addition, I have received over 75 hours of professional development, specifically in English language arts writing courses. I have another 50 hours of professional development in history and social studies courses with 12 hours specifically learning how to teach facts about people in history without giving personal opinions. 

Homework Offered
The students will be creating their own 3D diorama throughout the course. After each class, the student will create that week's topic to be added to their final project. For example, the week we learn about “Land” the students will create the landforms on their final project through what ever art supplies or other types of supplies they have on hand. During our 12th week, all students will present their final projects.   

All weekly homework will be assessed within one week of the conclusion of the course. 
1 - 2 hours per week outside of class
Assessments Offered
The students will be assessed through their weekly summary writings. Sentence structure, spelling, and grammar will, also, be assessed. 

The final assessment will be assessed through the final project (the 3D  diorama) and presentation each student created.
