My name is Debra Trezise, and I am so happy to be here at Channing. I grew up here in the Texas Panhandle and love the community that we have here. I have a degree from Grand Canyon University in History and am EC-6 and 7-12 History certified. I am also in the process of getting ASL certified. I'm looking forward to another wonderful year!
If you need anything or have any questions. Please feel free to email me at debra.trezise@channingisd.net.
Here is an overview of the classes I teach and what we will be learning in them.
6th Grade World Cultures- We are learning about the geography, history, and modern day cultures of all the continents.
7th Grade Texas History- We learn about the geography, culture and history of Texas from the Native Texans to modern times.
8th Grade US History- We learn about the History of the US from Precolonization to Reconstruction after the Civil War.
9/10th Grade World History- We learn about the history of the world from Precivilization to Modern times.
9th Grade American Sign Language (ASL) 1- We will learn about deaf culture and history, as well as learning the alphabet and many other signs in ASL
11th Grade US History- We refresh Reconstruction and then continue studying American History from the Gilded Age to Modern Day
12th Grade Government and Economics- We will start with Government and learn the documents and movements that influenced our democracy, the branches of our government and how they work, as well as how students can be responsible citizens and participate in our government.
Each student will need the following if they are in any of my classes:
1.5” binder (9th graders can bring a 2 or 3” binder and use it for World History and ASL if they are in both classes)
Pens or pencils
Set of Dividers (All but 9th Graders in both ASL and World History will need at least 8 tabs, 9th Graders in ASL and World History that have one binder will need two packs or a total of 16)
Headphones
If you need any help with school supplies, let me know. These supplies will stay in my room.
Here are some of the policies in my classroom:
Generally, students will only have homework if they do not finish work in class.
Students may not have cell phones in class.
Students are expected to be respectful to everyone in the room at all times.
No food or drink, other than water bottles.
I will accept work up to five days late, with a point penalty, and you may also do corrections to improve your grade.
