About Jon K:

20+ years of experience as an ESOL teacher and trainer in the USA, Taiwan, and Algeria. Skilled at creating IEPs for learners from pre-K to adults and all English abilities. Currently an English Language Fellow at a university in Algeria training pre-service English teachers to be successful when they begin their careers at public schools. Previously spent 16 years as a mentor teacher and teacher trainer for the Ministry of Education of Taiwan. I modeled lessons for 100s of teachers that were student-centered, accessible for all learners, and based on student interests. Additionally, I hosted numerous teacher trainings emphasizing reading and learning strategies, gamefication, using learning portfolios in multi-levels classes, classroom management, technology, and creating dynamic English learning environments.

Experience

English/ESOL teacher at public schools and universities in the USA, Taiwan, and Algeria. As an ESOL teacher, I taught all ages and ability levels, from pre-K to adults. My method is to understand every student's ability level, write learning goals with students, and then use learning portfolios to document student English language growth as it relates to their goals. Fun, yet challenging, student-centered lessons and units included reading and writing strategies and authentic speaking and listening activities.

I trained and mentored 100s or English teachers in Taiwan. Currently in Algeria, I am an English Language Fellow working in the English Teaching Department at a Ecole Normale Superiere, the most prestigious university in Algeria. My teacher training course include classroom management, technology, portfolios, classroom mangagment, creating positive relationships with parents and students, and gamefication.  

Education

In 2007, I finished my Master's Degree in Education. The focus was literacy and learning strategies. While I was living in Portland, Oregon, I began my Master's Degree at Lewis and Clark College. When I moved to Taiwan, I was able to transfer my credits and finish online. My lessons help students acquire English quickly and permanently, but I also use the reading, writing, thinking, and learning strategies that I learned at a graduate student to teach my students how to be independent learners.
