Mrs. Steidl is an experienced teacher who uses technology to promote the study of English language, literature, and composition for both beginning and advanced students. All lessons are uniquely designed and make use of educational resources which are published on the Internet and available in local libraries. Lessons are based on active learning for all ages. For grades 4-12, parental involvement is welcomed. In this program, no other curriculum needs to be purchased.
Lessons arrive as e-mail messages with instruction, clip art, color and attachments.
Unlimited e-mail can be exchanged between tutor and students. A portfolio is built throughout the semester to display all accomplishments and studies within the program. Weekly progress evaluations, edited compositions, and a culminating portfolio grade determine the final semester grade. This is an exciting program that helps to build student independence, accountability, responsibility, communication, and self-evaluation. Mrs. Steidl works closely with accrediting institutions, lead teachers of distance education programs, parents, advisors, and each individual student.
