As students master the TNReady ELA standards, they will demonstrate independence; build strong content knowledge; respond to the varying demands of audience, task, purpose, and discipline; comprehend as well as critique; value evidence; use technology and digital media strategically and capably; and come to understand other perspectives and cultures.
My name is Emma Harding, and I am incredibly excited to navigate ELA with your students this year! I am entering Smith County Schools this year after spending the past two years teaching 7th and 8th grade ELA in Knoxville while simultaneously earning my Master's degree in Teacher Education from the University of Tennessee. Prior to beginning my career through Tennessee's Job-Embedded Practitioner program, I graduated from UT with my Bachelor's degree in Honors English Literature in 2024. After getting married in April, my husband and I moved to the area over the summer with our sweet puppy named Rosie!
I am beyond excited to share my passion for reading and writing with your students this year as we explore the invaluable ability to communicate intentionally and with purpose. If you have any questions about the course, please do not hesitate to reach me by email or ParentSquare!
