Blog Site: http://blogs.wcpss.net/esolforum 2011-2012 is going to be a great year!
This year I will be teaching ESL Intensive Applied, ESL 2, Resource Tutoring and continue my duties as department chair.
Our push this year will be looking at what we "CAN DO" and using that information to make and meet individual language goals. ESL Applied will be working with the Visions Textbooks, Introduction to Phonics by Hampton Brown, and supplementary texts.
ESL 2 will work from the Hampton Brown Edge Level A textbook. A link to the student Edge portal can be found here: https://student.hbedge.net/
Some supplementary items that we will be using in the classroom will include:
Pearson Ellis
Let us remeber our WIDA standards. We will be focusing on Reading, Writing, Listening and Speaking in the following areas: Social and Instructional Language The language of Language Arts The language of Social Studies The Language of Science The Language of Mathematics   About me:
I was born in Pontiac, Michigan. I lived with my grandparents, and we moved to Florida when I was five. I grew up in Florida, and attended the University of South Florida. GO BULLS! I graduated in 2004 with a Bachelor's of Science in Secondary English Education. After graduation, I was hired by Hillsborough High School, where I spent three years teaching Reading with the Read 180 program.
My husband and I moved to North Carolina in January of 2007. I love living in Raleigh, but miss being able to attend USF football games.
