Teaching for America in the Lou

I'm teaching special education in the English department at Gateway Tech High School. On average, my students are reading at a 3rd grade level - so I definitely have my work cut out for me. My goal is to increase the reading level by an average of 2 years by the end of the school year. I also plan to have my students create a portfolio that showcases their strengths and levels of self-understanding and self-appreciation. Wish me luck!!! :)

Who's Running this Joint?

We got an email over winter break from our principal informing us that she decided to quit...

Fortunately, one of our assistant principals stepped up and took over for her. We've still had several fights but we are no longer having them each and every day. I sincerely hope that our school will be able to turn itself around this semester.
