Casselberry, M. Ed.

I hope this page finds you well and ready to explore the depths of Black Diamond High School Distance Learning. I am the online learning Acellus Administrator , Ethnic Studies and English III educator at BDHS.  I have been teaching 6th-Early Adult English Education for over 20 years, and I thoroughly enjoy it. My teaching has taken me to distant lands domestically and abroad.  These experiences have equipped me to refine my craft and provide a space and platform for students to discover who they are and the varying perspectives that surround them. The objective of English I is built upon the foundation of Secondary Language Arts--which introduces students to relevance in reading, writing and independent voice. English I pupils are guided using EDI strategies and independently encouraged to demonstrate their understanding of the more intricate components of reading, writing, listening and speaking--advancing as they progress throughout their high school years. These are the necessary, transferable skills students will revisit, practice and enhance as they continue on to ERWC: narrate, reflect, analyze, inform, argue, predict, research and more. Using various texts, videos and discussions (which generate philosophical perspectives and Socratic Seminar dialogue), students will be able to comfortably demonstrate independent thought, writing voice and audience-appropriate language. The English III layout for the academic year is as follows: 

I.      Quarter 1

        Narrative

II.    Quarter 2

        Informative

III.   Quarter 3

       Argumentative

IV.   Quarter 4

       Research

    "Students must have initiative;

    they should not be mere imitators.

    They must learn to think 

    and act for themselves--and be free!"
