Welcome
Hello Teach parents and families,
I am delighted to teach this year's English Language Arts Class at Teach. I am a Virginian, but I have lived in Los Angeles for over eight years. I am pleased to bring with me years of experience as an ELA, theatre, and special education teacher. My educational background includes an undergraduate degree from Radford University, and a graduate degree in Elizabethan English and Literature from the Royal Conservatoire in Birmingham, West Midlands, England.
My students will receive the highest level of learning approved by the state of California. In addition, I seek to instill in my students a love of reading, writing and literature. I want my students to understand not just the rules of correct grammar, punctuation and spelling, but to really understand the reasoning behind why it is important.

WITHOUT READING AND WRITING, WE WOULD NOT HAVE TECHNOLOGY, TALL BUILDINGS, CARS, VIDEO GAMES, MONEY, TIK TOK, OR ANY OF THE OTHER THINGS THAT WE USED EVERYDAY. OUR ENTIRE WORLD IS DEFINED BY READING AND WRITING.
READING AND WRITING IS HOW WE COMMUNICATE, KEEP RECORDS. IT IS HOW WE ARE REMEMBERED.
EVERYONE HAS A CHANCE TO CHANGE THE WORLD.
HOW WILL YOU USE LITERACY, READING AND WRITING, TO CHANCE THE YOUR WORLD?

The more you read and write, the more you broaden your vocabulary and are able to articulate concepts accurately and more effectively to others. Increasing your ability to communicate also helps make you a better worker or student.

Literacy
Lacking basic reading and writing skills is a tremendous disadvantage. Literacy not only enriches an individual's life, but it creates opportunities for people to develop skills that will help them provide for themselves and their family. |
