  English Teacher

  I worked as a staff teacher in the English department, teaching 9th grade for two years. My classes included a core English Language Arts course, a literacy support course, and a writing course. I developed and adapted curriculum to fit the needs of my students, many of whom were English as an Additional Language (EAL) students. I also had an Advisory class over my two years as AVCHS, providing pastoral care in the form of academic and socio-emotional support. In my second year, I became more involved in the planning of the pastoral care on campus by joining the School Culture Team, working with school leadership on the overall wellbeing of both the students and the staff.
