Class Activities and Assignments:
I use Google Classroom in my classes. Parents can use their child’s credentials to log in and see what is happening in our class. I have also posted my class calendars on this site for reference. Please use the link in the bar above.
Extra Help:
I am available for extra help during STAR. If your child is not available at this time, alternate arrangements can be made.
Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion
in the
English Classroom
When students read, write, and think in the secondary English Language Arts classroom, the opportunity for personal and academic growth is multi-faceted and vast. As an English Language Arts Department, we aim to offer learning experiences for students that foster the development of many skills applicable to stepping outside of their Glastonbury classrooms into the real world. We also aim to be sensitive to any content in the literature we teach that may elicit unique and varied reader responses based on students’ experiences.
The Gideon Welles School English / Language Arts Department whole-heartedly adheres to the philosophy stated on our district’s Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion webpage. We believe:
-Every student should have an equal opportunity for success.
-Every student needs to feel they belong, are understood, and are valued.
-Every student has unique strengths and challenges
-Every student should be kind, caring, and respectful to others.
