About Mrs. Henson
Got credentials?
My professional history is available on Linkedin.
How/Why did you decide to teach?
There is a longer story, but here is the short one: "Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world." -- Nelson Mandela
What do you do at Scott High School?
Right now, I teach Advanced English II, English II, and Advanced Placement English Literature and Composition. I am also our Dance Team Co-Coach, our Writing Cluster Leader, a lead teacher for Kenton County's Gates Foundation grant, and a Cappies Mentor.
How do you decide what to teach?
I use the Common Core Standards, based on the appropriate grade level, of course. For my Advanced Placement Literature class, I draw from the AP English Lit. & Comp. Course Description, created by the College Board.
What do you like to read?
You can see what I’m reading, what I like, and what I don’t like on Goodreads!
Any hobbies?
When I am not teaching, coaching, lesson-planning, or grading, I love to read, run, take yoga and dance classes, work on my little house with my husband (also a high school teacher), and travel.
