Working...
Each year we're asked to provide an update to our staff information and each year it takes me a while to think about what has changed or is new from the previous year. Well, 2010-2011 is no exception. My school day is comprised of working as the 7-12 Resource Teacher and monitoring students who are involved in the Nova NET computerized program. There has been an increase in the number of students that receive services this year, which keeps me involved in developing programs that best meet each student’s needs. Finally, I am one of the seventh grade class sponsors. It truly is a blessing to be involved in so many areas and to work with a great student body.
My focus for Practical Skills this year will be working towards meeting individual goals and objectives and providing new ways of understanding and applying concepts that are difficult for students. The grading system continues to be based on four major areas: attendance/punctuality, preparedness, time management and attention in class. Additionally, I am hoping to involve my students in a variety of field trips designed to improve the skills necessary for success in high school and in post-secondary situations.
If you have any questions, or ever need to discuss an issue, you can contact me before and after school. In addition, my planning period is fifth hour, 12:43 – 1:33.
Again, I am looking forward to an awesome year with a possibility for great things to happen. Welcome back!
