On-level English 10 Pers. 1 & 3
Course Description
This course is a requirement for high school graduation as well as college. The focus of this class is to help ALL students become college and career-ready. This class helps students to develop the knowledge and skills needed for upper level high school English courses as well as for success in college and the work force. It will focus on all aspects of language development: critical reading, purpose driven writing, effective listening and speaking skills. All activities that we do in this class during the school year will focus on one or more of these areas of language development in an effort to build effective communication.
Class Expectations / Management Plan
One of my most important goals as a teacher is to create a positive class learning environment where students can focus, feel relaxed, and be safe in order to maximize their potential. I want ALL students to be successful and know that my classroom is a place where they can explore new ideas, practice new skills, and develop themselves both academically and personally. With that in mind, I have a list of expectations that I hold for all my students and a plan for helping struggling students to redirect themselves to success.
