I am currently a middle school ELA/ELD teacher with a deep understanding and vast experience with the Common Core State Standards. I love to focus on various progress monitoring techniques and tools for students. They will review and reflect on their academic decisions, identify problems, and revise goals throughout the learning process. My lessons involve an extensive writing process that allows students to engage with the text (close reading, summarize the text, critically analyze the text, synthesize information from multiple texts, and cite evidence from the text). We will focus greatly on academic vocabulary so that students will be able to collaborate, create, and communicate with their peers in the classroom.
