Nivel de inglés: desconocido
Grado de EE. UU. 7 - 8
Small-Group Instruction 
This allows me to work closely with each student to evaluate students' learning strengths, locate gaps in their reading development, and tailor lessons focused on specific learning objectives.

LEARNING SESSIONS
Students will experience a combination of direct instruction, note-taking, discussion, Socratic seminars, reading, writing, vocabulary, and the application of skills. In addition, students can expect independent and group interactions with the teacher and classmates. Please note that the writing in this course is in the form of a content-based literary response. These are paragraph-length responses, not essays.

Metas de aprendizaje
My goal is to create a connection between prior knowledge, new knowledge, literary text, and the real world. Aside from improving reading comprehension, developing analytical skills, and encouraging higher-order thinking, I want my students to be confident with their interpretations and responses.

Otros detalles

Orientación para padres
Some texts may contain biblical allusions. These lessons will focus on text evidence and how allusions are used by authors to make a point. Therefore, I may need to reference and explain the main idea that the author is alluding to; the focus will be on literary analysis.
Lista de útiles escolares
Keep handy for any occasional notes.
~ Pencil and paper.
~ A traditional composition book. 
~ Digital docs are fine too.

*Gel pens, skinny markers, highlighters, and sticky notes are a great option for the more creative note taker.
Recursos externos
Los estudiantes no necesitarán utilizar ninguna aplicación o sitio web más allá de las herramientas estándar de Outschool.
Fuentes
I use a variety of platforms in my teaching sessions. However, all links and materials will be provided through the Outschool Classroom. On occasion, I do use Google Forms, Google Slides, Kahoot, Quizizz, Quizlet, FlipGrid, and Padlet.

Perfil
Experiencia y certificaciones del docente
Texas Certificado de Docencia en Artes del lenguaje inglés
Licenciatura desde Texas Woman's University
My English courses are centered around thought-provoking critical reading skills, effective writing, and verbalizing one's interpretation of a literary text. I believe in living, laughing, and learning. My learning goals are for my students to gain a greater depth of understanding far beyond the text.

My professional background:
~ I have taught English Language Arts (ELA) in the middle school setting for 16 years (Texas public schools).

~ I understand the Common Core Standards for my content area.

~ I have been an ELA Curriculum Writer in my district for over ten years.

~ I am ELA certified in the State of Texas for grades 4th through 8th.

~ I am certified as a generalist in Early Childhood - 4th Grade.

~ I am certified in ESL for grades Early Childhood - 12th Grade.

~ I am certified in Special Education for grades Early Childhood - 12th Grade.

~ In addition to education, I am an online writer for various websites. I have a background in Corporate Management, International Sales, Grant Writing, and I have worked as a Project Director for a non-profit organization.

~ I have a Bachelor of Science degree in Dance with a minor in English from Texas Woman's University.

My philosophy of teaching:
I believe strongly in developing independent thought, voice, and empathy. I enjoy enlightening students in the skills necessary for analyzing multiple viewpoints, building evidence-based opinions, and creating awareness toward opposing arguments. Civility and kindness are essential to me, and I encourage my students to be respectful as they develop their own opinions and counterarguments. Importantly, promoting metacognition in my students is a common approach in my teaching style. Yes, I LOVE teaching!

My family:
My daughter, Briana Olivares, is a teacher here at Outschool. She has had the gift of music since her earliest years, and she enjoys sharing this beautiful art form with her students. My son keeps us entertained and laughing. He is heartwarming, sweet, and has autism; he has taught me so much as a teacher and mother. My rock and supportive husband has been in Corporate Restaurant Management for over 32 years. Yum!

Requests for courses are welcomed!

Communication:

Outschool is my primary occupation, and I prioritize live classes during teaching days (Monday through Saturday). While I may not respond promptly during these days, I aim to reply within 24 hours (usually sooner).

Offline Hours:

I am offline on Saturday afternoon and Sunday, although I do periodically check messages and aim to respond promptly.

Materials:

In alignment with my teaching approach, all of the related materials and optional homework lessons will be provided in a PDF at the END of each respective lesson (NOT before). My lessons are interactive, guided experiences where all necessary materials are presented and annotated during class. Additionally, all classes are recorded for students' reference.

Assignments & Feedback:

Students are responsible for completing any unfinished assignments from class. I encourage all students to send their responses for feedback through private message.
