I care deeply about the mental health of youth, and I think most students are insecure about their writing skills. I would make it a priority to listen to my students and learn about what they are excited and passionate about, and I would incorporate that subject matter into our time together. I would be sure to encourage my students and genuinely celebrate their accomplishments, however incremental. I would also emphasize that writing is a process and that there is joy in the experience.
I am a product of, "Bloom's Taxonomy," and I structure lesson plans accordingly: Knowledge, Comprehension, Application, Analysis, Synthesis, Evaluation. My favorite part of the Taxonomy, I confess, is, "Synthesis," as I love when students create and bring new life to the lesson.
For these 6th-12th grade students, I would begin a lesson by writing simple sentences with a subject and predicate, based on the students' lives and general observations. We would then build on how to connect sentences and thoughts. I am a grammar nerd, and I especially love structuralist methods. For example, to teach about prepositions, I like to use the sentence, "The plane went _____ the cloud." With the exception of the word, "of," we would brainstorm any words that could fit in the blank and then identify them as prepositions.
I really enjoy the company of kids, and I love teaching. My youngest is graduating in June and off to college, and I am now available to pursue my passion. I absolutely loved helping our son with his college application essays, and through this process, he said that I gave him, "the best English class he has ever had." (He will be attending Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute.)
The impact of working one-on one and in small groups is so rewarding to me. The thought of focusing on content and not classroom behaviors is extremely appealing, as well. I am excited to be a part of your team!
