I was a student in the Etiwanda School District for my entire K-8 education and can't wait to be a part of the amazing experiences the district offers.  My parents both teach in the district, and my sister teaches in Washington; education is the family calling. 

I attended Macalester College for my undergraduate degree, where I majored in psychology and history with a minor in educational studies. Additionally, I have my Masters in Education from UCR. I love reading, baseball, and spending time with my family.

As a participant in this course, students will receive support in the following areas: 

1. Teacher and peer tutoring and coaching

2. Reinforcement of appropriate academic behaviors that support success in school

3. Organization of assignments, materials and supplies and development of systems to keep trap of important papers, assignments, etc.

4. Completion of assignments

5. Assignment and project management: estimation of how long assignments will take and breaking big projects into smaller ones

6. Routine use of binder reminder and binder reminder checks

7. Additional study time

8. Communication tools to help students communicate with teachers, student support staff and administration

9. Time management techniques

10. Academic and self-reflection exercises

11. Acellus\Credit Recovery

12. Life Skills Education (e.g., decisions have consequences; dealing with peer pressure; obeying laws and rules; plugging in to support systems, etc.)

Students will receive support in the SOAR exploratory course based upon individual need. Students may continue to receive support in the SOAR elective beyond the six-week period based upon student success and achievement subject to teacher and student evaluation and assessment.  Student performance and success will affect the duration of SOAR support.  

The SOAR acronym is detailed below.

Scholarship – Students are encouraged to enhance their learning, improve their subject knowledge, and refine their study skills in order to improve their grades in their core classes.

Ownership – Students explore the power to have mastery over their academic progress and success.

Awareness -   Students improve their understanding and consciousness of effective academic skills.

Respect – Students learn to have high regard for others and themselves.

Our primary focus will be to reinforce skills taught in Language Arts and provide opportunities for extension and acceleration in the curriculum.

This will be accomplished by working independently on personalized instruction in IXL, instruction in specified areas of class needs within the English/Language Arts content and collaborative learning and practice.
