COURSE DESCRIPTIONS
AdvaNced BTA
($20 Course Fee)
Advanced BTA is a one-credit course that provides students with project-based applications of concepts learned in Business Technology Applications. Personal computing and business skills are integrated throughout the course as students use a variety of software applications to produce and prepare documents for publication and learn how to select appropriate software for generating information. A major emphasis is placed on guiding students through real-world experiences to aid in the school-to-career transition.
MulTimedia Design
($20 Course Fee)
Multimedia Design is a one-credit course designed to provide students with hands-on skills involving graphic design, digital photography, Web publishing, and digital video production. Students use various hardware peripherals and software for completing documents.
Work-Based Learning
($20 Course Fee)
Work-Based Learning provides students with educational opportunities that typically cannot be replicated in the classroom. Work-based experiences are designed to connect information learned in the classroom with skills obtained in an occupational setting as an apprentice or intern. Work-based learning promotes improved skills, higher efficiency and the availability of a better-trained labor pool that encourages business growth and productivity.
About me
My favorite thing about being a teacher is my students! I strive to create a learning environment that is student-centered and humor-driven.
This is my 17th year in education. I was at Scottsboro Jr. High School for three years and am starting my 14th year at Scottsboro High School. Before teaching, I spent 6 years in accounting.
I have a BBA in Finance from the University of Montevallo (Go Falcons!), a M.Ed. in Business Education from Alabama A&M University, and an Ed.S. in Teacher Leadership from the University of West Alabama.
I am married to Chris Sommers, and we have two children, Mattie and Jack. I am from New Orleans, LA, so I am a huge LSU fan. In my free time, I can be found watching my children play sports, running, training for races, riding my Peloton, or listening to books and podcasts.
