2. As a gifted and talented and advanced academics teacher, I believe this is especially true for my students, and my goal is to expose students to higher level thinking. I am dedicated to teaching good knowledge. I do make the assumption that your child is academically motivated, and it is my goal to teach them to be independent and creative thinkers, with the ability to apply knowledge and skills to all aspects of life. The Advanced Academics (PAP) program is designed to be built upon, with each grade a preparation for the next. I am creating LIFE LONG LEARNERS!

3.  to inspire, connect and prepare all students for college and post-secondary success. How do we do this?????  TEACHING WITH THE END IN MIND!!!

4.  Welcome to SpringBoard!  SpringBoard is the College Board’s official Pre-AP program, developed to provide a roadmap for attaining the knowledge and skills students require for success in Advanced Placement courses and in college-level work. SpringBoard offers a carefully articulated, engaging, and rigorous English Language arts curriculum that provides students with the skills and knowledge necessary to complete in the 21st century. Students need to collaborate with others to complete a task, to make meaning of any text they encounter, and to communicate effectively in speech and writing. SpringBoard provides students ample opportunity to refine and master strategies that will enhance their ability to understand and analyze any challenging text, to write with clarity and voice, to speak and listen in order to communicate and work effectively with others, and to view media with a critical intelligence.
