Teaching With Class

Teaching With Class provides English Language Arts education to first and second language learners, using a Skills Based program and a Content and Language Integrated approach. Students participate in novel studies, debate, and writing classes, and learn to express opinions, evaluate texts, and create their own pieces which are published on a student blog for showcasing their work. Students are able to either attain or maintain grade level literacy skills in English. Teaching With Class also provides exam and test preparation, targeted lessons for specific skills, and coaching to develop learning skills including self advocacy, independence, and organization. Skills based, engaging, and goal oriented, students and families working with Teaching With Class determine and work towards their own goals and needs. With an approach inspired by Universal Design For Learning, students can access and and engage with materials and assignments in a variety of ways and meeting a variety of goals. Teaching With Class is committed to equity, fairness, and openness, and works to teach lessons and use novels that represent all students, allowing them to engage with difficult, interesting, and important subjects.
