Ineligibility Warning

This goes well with my "MIA Request" form! While schools are moving to 1:1, not every student always has easy access to grades at home and frequently forget/lose passwords when they are at school at access grades. This is a great little form (4 per page) to let students know they are failing/close to failing as a grading period ends or a check approaches for performing arts/athletics eligibility! I fill them out for all my classes, make a copy for the kids and keep the originals for my records.

Failing Choice

For those disruptive kids who don't quite get there are consequences for actions... When all roads of effort have not helped, allow the student to "choose" to fail and present this form, filled out and signed by the student, to Admin and his/her parents or guardians. This way, you have documentation to cover your actions and show that every attempt on your end to help the student has been exhausted.

Experience

I created a tutoring company catering to 6th grade and up in 2004 and still have clients to this day. I taught in private school for 2 years and have been in the public sector since 2017!

Teaching style

Completely crazy, no lie. While I am a firm believer in many traditional teaching practices, I also like to be silly and have fun with my kids. We have a lot of competitions throughout each unit and I take every possible opportunity to make my class enjoyable.

Additional biographical information

I have templates for EVERYTHING, but don't always have time to upload or even remember to upload. I am beyond happy to help any teacher looking for resources. If I don't have something posted, feel free to reach out and ask if I have it (if I don't, I can usually make it to your specifications pretty easily).
