I have three overall goals for my students this year: to become
better readers, to become better writers, and to become better
speakers. Although I don't expect from my students (or myself) a
mastery of the English language, I do expect them to challenge and
stretch their understanding of what it means to be fluent in a
language. Fluency in language comes from practice in reading,
writing, and speaking the language. Each of these three practices
will be employed in my class daily.
I have been teaching for 13 years, in public and private schools and in Mobile, Alabama and Auburn, Alabama. I have taught Language Arts, Speech, Drama, Physical Education, and History. I am certified in Secondary Language Arts, speech, and drama.
