English Prep

Steve Wermus

Energize your  9th or 10th grade student’s brain with a Humanities readiness course to get a jump on the 2021-22 school year!  This experience exposes students to the idea that there are multiple ways to learn and encourages them to explore ways that they can use their unique learning strengths to improve academic success.  Excitingly, we will focus on recent advances in neuroscience as applied to the classroom. See www.learningandthebrain.com to get a sense of what’s in store.  We will also work on developing grit—task persistence—and a growth mindset, rigorously proven pathways to achievement.   Special focus will be given to developing reading comprehension and writing tools, in addition to practical organization, note-taking, and traditional “study” and test-preparation skills.  The course will finish by asking the students to apply their nascent skills to their Humanities summer reading texts and 9th and 10th grade course textbooks, giving students a head-start on authentic initial reading and writing assignments, so they can hit the ground running at Tatnall.

The course instructor, Steve Wermus, has taught English for 25 years, 18 of them at Tatnall.  He is known for energy and enthusiasm and for making learning provoking and fun.  He looks forward to helping your student achieve!
