Sentence Pattern Practice: “Making the Art of Sentence Writing Relevant"
Overview: Research has proven that mastery of subject area vocabulary is critical to superior performance on state mandated high stakes tests.

Experience

I seek to help each child identify their unique strengths and weaknesses, offer remediation for areas of struggle, and help them plan for continued development as they grow toward adulthood by providing ongoing feedback and redirection that encourages long learning and development in an academic setting.
In my classroom, this sign is posted: "Not knowing is not the same as being stupid; it just means that you do not know. Education is the remedy for not knowing."
