My name is Dakota Pompa and this will be my third year teaching English 2 at Victoria West High School. Teaching is my passion, and I’m thankful for every student I am given the privilege of knowing and teaching. I thoroughly enjoy using music and popular culture to enhance my lessons and will gladly learn about subjects and topics my students enjoy. During my two years prior, I’ve had the opportunity to learn about anything from anime, strategic card games, music, sports, popular figures, and many other things from my students.

I’ve also learned that students need a voice in the classroom. I always make time to hear the suggestions and critiques of the students who are in my class as well as students on campus. I try to be aware of each students’ needs and adapt to the best of my ability to suit their style of learning. I’ve found the best way to ensure that I can meet the needs of my students is to encourage them to be vocal about what works for them, what doesn’t, or how I can adapt to help them better grasp the concepts. I’m looking forward to getting to know each of my students this year, and I encourage their guardians to maintain contact with me as often as possible. I’m looking forward to a great year of success and learning!
