At the end of each day or each class period, the student reflects on their level of engagement, the teacher reflects on the observed level of engagement, and the two meet to briefly discuss and make a plan of action for the next day. Simply "Share" the Google Sheet with guardians so everyone is in the loop and can help support that student!

Teaching style
I am the creator of a whimsical and rigorous middle school English classroom. My work in the classroom over the past 15+ years has involved visiting retirement communities so students can write narrative nonfiction, motivating students to write 18,000 word novels in 30 days (for real!), and incorporating food trucks into a rigorous analysis of short stories. I am committed to making middle school not the worst place ever and you can be, too but these critical creative activities!
