Welcome! This class is intended to serve learners interested in a literature course which allows them to explore and discover the magic of the written word, increase their reading stamina, and engage in high-level discussion and debate about their own thoughts and ideas on what each novel means to them. As a dedicated educator, I believe that the greatest teaching values are centered around fostering a love for learning, encouraging critical and creative thinking, and promoting a positive and collaborative classroom environment. I am committed to providing timely and responsive communication with parents and learners within 24 hours. I also believe in providing personalized, objective feedback on the written projects that learners turn in, as I recognize the importance of constructive feedback in supporting their growth and development. Quality is of utmost importance to me as an educator. I am committed to delivering high-quality instruction that is tailored to the unique needs and interests of my learners. I believe in using evidence-based instructional strategies and best practices in education. I continue to engage in professional development so that I can continually improve my teaching skills and provide the best possible education to my learners. Service is at the heart of my teaching philosophy. I am dedicated to serving my learners and developing unique classes to engage their minds and creative spirits. I believe in building strong partnerships with learners to create a collaborative approach to their education, where students remain actively involved in their own learning journey. I strive to provide timely and constructive feedback to learners on their written projects, as I believe that feedback is crucial in guiding their progress. By fostering a supportive and welcoming classroom environment and maintaining open lines of communication, I aim to create a positive and enriching classroom experience for all my learners. My teaching style has been described by colleagues and students as engaging, objective, unique, and focused. One of my core beliefs is that every child is capable of learning and must be given the opportunity to grow and flourish academically, socially and intellectually. I firmly believe that one's ability to precisely communicate thoughts and ideas to others through speaking and writing is one of the greatest ways to ensure future success in whatever domain one chooses to pursue.

Orientación para padres
The novel '1984' includes non-explicit implications of sexual relations, references to smoking and alcohol, and the theme of violence primarily presented in the form of ongoing war. Having taught the novel in high-school classrooms several times, I recognize that '1984' can be a challenging and emotional read for some students. While the purpose of the course is to develop literacy and discussion skills, deepen historical understanding of the author's purpose and foster social-emotional competencies such as empathy and gratitude, I want to address how unsolicited and potentially emotional expressions are handled in my class and how I intend to respond to students regarding these complex and challenging themes.
1. Set the stage and develop classroom norms collaboratively with students:
*Students are expected to be engaged, collaborative, and respectful to one another at all times
*Students are encouraged to read assigned passages through a lens of compassion, empathy, respect, historical context and objectivity
*Students are expected to focus on what the text says rather than subjective interpretations or opinions. Focusing on textual evidence effectively eliminates most potential occurrences for unsolicited response and expression
*Students always have the opportunity to opt out of a particular discussion if they feel the material is too taxing emotionally
*If it is noted that a student appears struggling with the material being presented or discussed, I will inform the parent about the concern immediately. Further, please contact me with any questions or concerns you may have about this class.
2. Encourage students to research material on their own using reliable sources in order to gain a fuller understanding of the material
3. Focus the discussion, encourage reflection, and make connections to lived experience. Giving the students a framework for the day's reading discussion up front aligns and focuses conversation on the ideas and thoughts presented in specific passages
4. Confront the idea, not the individual. Be the paragon of effective, purposeful, and respectful dialog
5. Facilitate actively by rewording questions posed by students, correcting misinformation, making reference to relevant reading materials or course content, asking for clarification, and reviewing main points
Please contact me directly if you have concerns or questions regarding the content of this class or visit (https://www.commonsensemedia.org/book-reviews/1984) for parent reviews and comments about the novel.
