CKB - High School English

I've taught high school for 13 years in two very different schools (one rural, lower-income and one suburban, more affluent). I've taught a range of grades: on-level 9th, honors 9th, on-level 10th, honors 10th, on-level 12th, and AP English Language and Composition.

I consider myself a pretty tough teacher with high but realistic expectations. I like to incorporate a variety of assessments in to my curriculum, rather than focusing just on tests. This means lots of creative, constructive stuff in addition to presentation and performance-type assignments when applicable. I also try to include a variety of instructional methods, so I use a variety of individual and groupwork lessons.

For the past past 2 school years, I have been a finalist for Teacher of the Year. I've also won a few smaller, school-wide awards.

I earned both my BA in English and my MAT in English Education from Georgia State University. I have also earned gifted endorsement and have completed training to teach AP Lang.
