| Advanced Comp Course Description: This class will be a comprehensive study of literature, vocabulary, grammar, and writing. Through these elements, you will learn skills that will prepare you for your next step after SHS. My philosophy as a teacher is to equip you with transferrable skills that will actually help you in real life. Ten years from now, it will not matter if you can remember the cast of “Hamlet” or the plot of 1984. What will matter is your ability to think critically and creatively, respond to texts and media, communicate effectively with other humans, understand different perspectives, and use the power of literacy to change your life and the world for the better.

My life began in the land of tumble weeds and wind, a place where most people speed by to Colorado, a place where a school field trip could take at least three days, a place where you can see forever; if there was something to see, my hometown, Goodland, Kansas. I attended Marymount College in Salina, Kansas, where I graduated with a degree in Theatre, Speech, English and Psychology. I moved to Sabetha, Kansas after I accepted a teaching position of 7th grade Language Arts, and high school Speech and Drama; along with teaching responsibilities I coach forensics and direct the high school musical and play. In 2006, I moved to eighth grade Language Arts. In 2007, I received my Master of Arts in Education degree from Baker University. I married a Sabetha native, Doug Garber, in 2004. We reside four miles outside of town with our two children. In the past 28 years, I have had the extreme pleasure of teaching, coaching and directing the students of Sabetha; and coming to know, understand and love this community as my own. |
