I have sixteen years of public school teaching both at the middle and high school levels. I've taught English classes on Outschool for the last  four consecutive years. I look forward to bringing my combined years of experience to Outschool full time.

宿題が提供されます
The ONLY way students will be successful in this class is if they complete all assigned readings and work prior to each class meeting.  Additionally, to keep up with timely feedback on writing assignments and grading, students MUST complete all assigned work by the end of the school week. (see "Weekly Assignment Sheet")

Each week, students will complete readings, have discussions with peers, and complete assignments, and work on group projects. Please make sure your student has four or more hours each week to work on this course.

Limited live meetings.
An estimated 5+ hours per week outside of class.
授業以外に週あたり 4+ 時間の学習が期待されます
評価が提供されます
Students will be assessed through quizzes, exams, and short answer responses that are aligned to the national standards. Each student will have access to google classroom for assignments and for grade progression.

I have designed this class to support unique learning needs such as ADHD, Dyslexia, Additionally, this shorter more focused class is also designed for credit recovery students in mind.

Students should have successfully passed 8th English class. Prior to class, several basic multiple choice diagnostics will need to be completed so I can determine each student's grammar, reading, and writing capability.

In addition to the Outschool classroom, this class uses Google Email/Drive, Youtube, Kahoot!, and Quizlet.

Just like I do in my public teaching classroom, I pull reading texts from a wide variety of sources and then I add my own experience to the text and assignments and then I have the students engage in with the content through discussions, group projects, and individual presentations.
