My students come from varying backgrounds but are each exceptional in their own way, striving for success despite the challenges influencing their daily lives. My amazing students have varying needs, personalities, and dreams but often struggle to decipher the written word. My goal is to help improve their understanding of the written word and their competency in writing skills so they can become globally aware citizens and master the skills required for success in the 21st century. Choice activities are key to their success and might be individual or group related as 21st Century workers need to be adept at both skills.
