I am a certified middle school science teacher, and have been teaching middle school science both in the public school setting, and  online since 2014. It is very important to me that students enjoy the experience of learning about science and consequently, much effort is put into making lessons interactive, varied, and memorable. My experience allows me to focus on the importance of building relationships with my students and use those relationships to tailor lessons to their interests and abilities. I grow and become a better teacher every time I interact with my students! 

宿題が提供されます
🟡 Students will receive access to 1-2 homework assignments each week throughout the course. These are small tasks that I feel would be more suitable as an individual activity rather than an in-class activity.
🟡 We will also complete two projects. These projects can be as time/labor-intensive as your student wants to make them, the purpose of the project is to give students an opportunity to show their understanding of the topic. I will give them several ideas to choose from, but they also have the option to come up with their own project idea for consideration. 
🟡 A vocabulary quiz and a unit test are also provided for those that would like to test their knowledge in this way. 

📣 We let all students know that assignments, projects, and tests are optional based on what the adult in charge of their education requires them to do. 
授業以外に週あたり 0 - 1 時間の学習が期待されます
評価が提供されます
📒 We grade and/or give feedback on all work completed by the student, and a report card will be available for each student. 

📒 We also informally asses students by using Nearpod during lessons, and by using their verbal or chat box responses to questions and discussions during the live lesson. 

📒 Adults can access assignments and grades at all times through the link given at the beginning of the course.
