(REN LEARNERS: You can email me at our school network: ShannonC@renpdx.org )
My name is Shannon and I am an art teacher in Portland Oregon. I have taught art, tutored math and writing, and coached numerous sports for the last 15 years, all while working as an artist, set designer, and fabricator. I am currently pursuing my Master in Education at PSU. This website is a resource for you, and also a way to get to know me in these "uncertain times" (as all the ads say). #COVID #YouKnowWhatsUp
Throughout this website you will find info on my current courses, past curriculum and lessons, some info about me, my teaching philosophy, resources for online education and technology, resources for equitable access to education, and finally, a little bit of some non-school related fun.
Winter term schedule: Green events are my PSU classes. Light blue are student teaching ZOOM sessions (excluding reading, grading, feedback, and lesson planning of course!). Bright blue is in-person tutoring.
While COVID has made this a little different, during the normal session this is the calendar and daily schedule for our school. We keep currently enrolled families updated on events as they change via our weekly newsletter.
In January we will enter part 2 of the long-distance marathon that is the 20/21 school year. Thus far you students have been absolutely killing it! Your teacher Kirsten and I are both very proud of you all. We have some new projects and online tools planned to make this next term even better, so look to your emails for an update next week!
