I have taught grades 6-8 in English Language Arts, Social Studies, Yearbook, Journalism, News Broadcasting, and more. I have taught Talented and Gifted accelerated and mainstream courses in Language Arts and Social Studies at the middle school level. My content is always designed backward based on the particular skill I want students to master -- the Common Core State Standards are how I assess students using a Standards-Based or proficiency-based grading model.
Standards-Based/proficiency grading, Inquiry-Based, heavy critical thinking, and evidence-based instruction.
