ASL Teacher
Jan, 2018 - PresentTwelve Stones Classical Home School Community
I teach an experiential ASL class to K-8. This introductory class helps students learn vocabulary and realize that ASL has its own rules, just like any other language. Total immersion is nearly impossible in a classroom, but we take time to go silent and use what we know to communicate.
Band Director/General Music
Jan, 2013 - PresentHigh Country Home Educators
I teach music to all ages at home school co ops-I've even had a student older than me! Here is a sample of the classes I teach: My GENERAL MUSIC classes are filled with K-3 and we learn about band and orchestra instruments, the staff and rhythms. We play games to test and solidify what we've learned. RECORDER WINDS is an introduction to wind instrument and ensemble playing. I teach basic music theory along with performance quality playing in this pre-band setting using recorders and NUVO Instruments pre-band instruments. BEGINNING WIND BAND is exactly what it sounds like-all wind instruments and no percussion. The semesters are very short and class meets once a week. This class concentrates on learning an instrument, music theory and good practice habits. PERCUSSION/DRUMS a class just for percussion. Technique is built here along with music theory. Students prepare for a full ensemble setting. CONCERT BAND for the more advanced homeschool students. This is a rehearsal/learning environment for those who are familiar with their instruments and geared toward performance.
Spanish/French Teacher
Sep, 2010 - Sep, 2011Tin Roof
I taught both Spanish and French at this home school co op to and elementary group and a middle school group. I approached younger classes with hands on activities like repetitive stories that added new vocabulary with each turn of the page, much like There was an Old Woman that Swallowed a Spider. The same kind of book was used for the middle schoolers, but added a workbook for more depth.
