Hello!

I am Coach Etters. By day, I am an English teacher and Student Government sponsor. By night, I am the JV volleyball coach. This is my third year of teaching at NSHS, and I am beyond blessed to continue working with these wonderful students, teachers, and district. 

My classes consist of Read180; English I, III, and IV; and Creative Writing. Every year, my curriculum changes and improves. There is always something new added or changed from the previous year. This allows me to diversify my students’ learning and activities. I prefer whole group learning with my students, because I believe my students thrive from explicit instruction and teacher-guided instruction.

Although, I truly believe responsibility and accountability are key elements of young adulthood. My students are given a lot of responsibility in my classroom (keeping up with papers, remembering the schedule, bringing materials to class, etc.). They are also held to a high standard, and I remind them of this multiple times throughout the year. These students are not only learning core curriculums but also life lessons to navigate young adulthood.

A huge part of my class is our “Weekly Participation” grade. Every week, each student begins the week with a free 100 grade in the gradebook. Throughout the week, the student can lose points depending on their behavior and engagement. Participation is based on their behavior within the classroom and their engagement with the lesson and work. There are multiple things that a student can do to lose points, but students also have an opportunity to not lose points! If a student is engaged and well-behaved during the week, they will not lose any points and they will keep the free 100 in the gradebook!

During the fall, I coach the JV Volleyball team. Being said, I am slightly more busy after school during the season. Nevertheless, my students are first focus, so I am still available to work with a student during the day or during class. 

All year long, I am the Student Government sponsor. This is a huge responsibility for myself and the students. Our hopes are to continue to support the student body and be their voice.

If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact me through email or the school’s phone number.
