My grading philosophy:
- You choose your grade in my class.
- Your actions make louder choices than your words.
- I will always encourage you to revise your work to earn a higher grade.
- My job is to facilitate the content (i.e., help guide you through the class as you do the work).
- At the end of the day, I honor your choices, whatever they might be.
Tips for improving your grade:
- Show up for tutorials. Even a quick 5-minute check-in before/after school to sit down and talk about your grade can help.
- Know what resources are available to you, and get good at using those resources.
- Advocate for yourself. If you need more resources or support to be successful, ask!
- I don't mind giving extensions, but keep in mind that if you turn in an assignment after I have already graded the class set, then it will take me longer to grade yours.
- If you are waiting on a grade for an assignment you turned in late (or with an extension), then show up to tutorials so I can sit down with you to grade the assignment and give verbal feedback.

Hi, everyone! This is my second year at Frenship High School, and my 17th year of teaching. I taught ESL for 11 years in the DFW metroplex, and I taught English classes at TX Tech for 5 years. I'm currently working on a PhD in linguistics, and I enjoy learning about all the different ways humans use language!
In addition to reading, studying, writing, and teaching, I love spending time with my family. Our favorite activities are traveling, camping, and going to concerts.
