Mrs. S. Johnson's ELA Syllabus
Meet Mrs. S. Johnson
Hello Everyone! My name is Mrs. Johnson and I am the Middle School ELA teacher. I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Social Science with a concentration in Education, a Master’s in Education, and a Master’s in Psychology. I have worked in the field of education since 2005 and started working at NLAE during the 2014-2015 school year.
Outside of NLAE, I host a talk show and run a social service non-profit. I recently published my first book and I enjoy going to the movie theater, relaxing at the spa, and spending time with my husband and children. I am excited to be back for another year of teaching, learning, and exploring! I look forward to helping our middle school learners explore the world of writing!
