Our Mission
Our goal as a class is for each of you to learn the 7th grade Language Arts AKS as an aid to developing into mature, responsible individuals who will excel in society. As your teacher, I pledge to support and guide you as you take responsibility for your behavior and academic progress. I will continually strive to understand and value the unique needs and concerns each of you have and promise to use a variety of teaching styles and techniques to support your individual learning. I will give you as much choice as possible in your education and together we will explore options and examine the consequences of each option. Throughout our journey together, I will share lessons that are practical and meaningful for everyday life, challenge you to think for yourself, and help you develop the knowledge and skills you need to succeed on the Gateway test and throughout your life.
Here are some other things I value as a teacher...
