Course Syllabus
Welcome to Fuerte's ELA class! Thank you for being a willing learner with a positive attitude. This is my 30th year teaching ELA, and I still love it! I have taught every grade from 6-12 and all levels of learners. The classroom is my mission field and I am passionate about creating a learning environment that allows for all learners to learn every day. That said, I believe in teaching tough love: holding students accountable for their behavior and their learning, while maintaining an atmosphere that is conducive to learning at all times.
It indeed does take a village to raise I child, and I believe it is the responsibility of the student, the parent, and the teacher to help nurture thinking and understanding of students. It is important to establish thinking routines- pathways to understanding- enabling students to continually seek out connections to their learning, and I will work diligently to establish these routines.
We will laugh, have fun, be in motion, but at all times- be respectful of those around us. My goal is to create life long learners who are engaged in their learning experiences. I want students to enjoy coming to class, but at the same time, learn.
Below you will find links to different pages. The lesson plans for each week- no matter the grade level- will be found by following the "Nine Weeks Weekly Agendas" link. The other links are simply supplemental information and then grade specific supplemental information.
