A Bit About Me:
This is my 22nd year at CVHS. I've been here long enough that a number of my former students are now my colleagues. I keep waiting for the day when I will teach the child of one of my former students...
I have been teaching Modern World History for 20 years and am teaching APUSH again (also year 20) after a one year hiatus.
I have previously taught:
Afrocentric U.S. Hist. (2012-2026)
CCG (2005-2012)
U.S. History (2005-2012)
Grading Information:
In accordance with district policy on restorative practices, students in all my classes have the opportunity to retake some assessments. On the other hand, daily assignments, classwork, homework, etc. may not be turned in late. For specific details, consult with the course overview linked above for the appropriate class.
In accordance with district policy on equitable, standards based grading practices, grades will be calculated on a district mandated 0-4 scale. The details of the grade breakdown and conversion to the more familiar A-F scale are provided on the course overview. Standardized rubrics for all assessments can be found in the folder linked above for the appropriate class.
Grades are generally updated in Aeries within a week of any due date or test being completed; some long assignments (such as major typed essays) may take longer to grade, though I do try to have them scored and returned within a week of the due date whenever possible.
