Introduction: My Goals

To me teaching ELA provides an opportunity to engage and motivate students in their understanding and acquisition of the English language (speaking, writing, reading, viewing and representing).   The challenge is to address the needs, interests and abilities of different students who may be at varying developmental levels, be from diverse backgrounds and may have various learning challenges.

Personally, my goal is to impart my love of language to the students, thus putting them on the path of lifelong learning.
