In my classroom, I strive to create a dynamic and supportive environment where students feel encouraged to think critically, practice their writing, and participate in meaningful discussions. I design lessons that are hands-on and varied, from analyzing texts and writing multi-paragraph essays to exploring creative projects like poetry and graphic novels. I work to balance structure with flexibility, giving students opportunities for guided support through Compass or pod time while also encouraging independence in practicing skills and completing assignments. I prioritize both academic growth and emotional support, making sure students feel cared for and prepared to succeed. Collaborative discussions, reflection on learning, and classroom participation are central to my approach, helping students take risks in their writing, explore ideas, and develop strong literacy skills in a positive, encouraging environment.
