A gist about me.
I was born and raised in Saginaw, MI. I attended college at Tennessee State University, Nashville, TN, where I graduated with a Bachelor's degree in English. I obtained my Masters in Educational Leadership from Concordia University in Portland, OR., and in 2024, I graduated with my Ed.S in Educational Leadership from Carson Newman University. This will be my 13th year teaching in Tennessee and my 8th year at Northwest. I have 23 years of teaching experience. My husband and I have lived in Nashville since 2008, but moved to Clarksville in June 2017. We have three children: 2 boys and 1 girl, who are all high school graduates, and a 4-year-old grandson. In addition to English III, I also teach AP Language and Composition.

CLASSROOM EXPECTATIONS 

  • Students need to arrive on time for class and stay for the duration of the class period.
  • Students need to be responsible for their work and ask for help when needed. I will send out important reminders about assignments and dates via Google Classroom and Parent Square.  I will also be available to help students with assignment questions via email or Google Classroom. I will stay after school for tutoring by appointment. 
  • Students will be prepared and engaged in all lessons.
  • Students will treat others with the same respect as they would like to be treated. 
  • Water is allowed in the classroom in a container with a lid. No other drinks or food is allowed.
  • Cell phones and earbuds must be put away out of sight during class unless the student has specific permission from the teacher. Students who put their phones away in the calculator pouch will be allowed to take advantage of receiving 2 points a day. This is not mandatory but a voluntary act. 
  • Students will turn in their own original work. Plagiarism will not be accepted or tolerated. This includes using photos of others’ work to complete their own assignments and sharing documents/writing assignments. Consequences will be either a zero without the possibility of making up the assignment and a notation in Power School or a discipline referral and the students staying after school to make up the assignment for a maximum grade of 60%. The student will be able to choose either consequence.

Academic Dishonesty

Using AI, CHATGPT, or any other form of artificial intelligence for assignments is considered academic dishonesty and is not allowed. The same policy applies to plagiarism when using AI in your work.
