Personal Statement
My goal in the classroom is to help students become more confident and competent in their abilities.  In 11th grade British Literature, the best way to do this is to read, analyze, write about, and (most of all) enjoy great books. For 8th grade English students, ability and confidence follow from intensive writing practice and vocabulary building.
