About Mr. Scott

One of three eighth-grade English Language Arts teachers at Hughes Academy, I have fourteen years' experience in the classroom, including experience teaching English as a Foreign Language and working with at-risk youth. Most of my teaching experience is international. For seven years, I taught English in a small village in the south of Poland. It was a constant challenge, but immensely rewarding. My first job when I returned to the States was as a teaching assistant in an EC classroom, working primarily with children on the autism spectrum. During the 2006/7 school year, I worked at a day-treatment facility for at risk youth, teaching social studies, science, and social skills. I graduated from King College in Bristol, Tennessee with a degree in English, minoring in Secondary Education.
