    Making crepes

    		 

    Bonjour,

     

    My name is Nadège Uwase (preferred name is Nadège or Ms. N.) I love learning languages and I speak Kinyarwanda, French, and English. I am currently learning Spanish and Russian. 

    I grew up in Columbia. As a CPS kid, I went to Smithton Middle School, West Junior High School, and graduated from Rock Bridge High School. I went to the University of Missouri - Columbia and my undergraduate degree is in Political Science with a minor in French. In graduate school, my degree is in Language Teaching with an emphasis on French. When I am not teaching, I enjoy traveling.

    In my classroom, I pay close attention to students’ changing needs as they progress to learn the greater complexities of the language. I know that students learn the same content in different ways and at different rates. Thus, I explain intricate concepts and chunk them into easily digestible bits of information for students to understand.

    Additionally, I give students ample opportunities to apply what they learn with plenty of patience. Lessons are taught in French for students to practice the language frequently, unrehearsed, and in a safe space. Furthermore, I encourage students to enhance learning by practicing in and outside the classroom and support students’ efforts to build a community of French speakers perhaps with an after-school program or involving community members. We are planning to start a Francophone Club, stay tuned for more information.

    Grades: I use Schoology to keep students and parents informed. The 'updates' tab has reminders and their grades will often have notes.

    Classroom activities: I enjoy bragging on my students. Join the conversation!

    Academic year 20-21: I am teaching French 1 at Rock Bridge High School during the fall semester. In the Spring, I will return to Muriel Battle High School and teach French 1 & 2. My office hours (while virtual and hybrid) are Wednesdays 2-4 PM by appointment on Zoom. Students have access in their respective Schoology course.

    Kindly,
