"[Scott] is a dedicated educator who spends countless hours outside of the classroom planning instruction, supervising extra-curricular activities, analyzing student data, self-reflecting, and exploring research-based methods to incorporate into the Language Arts curriculum. ...He is knowledgeable of the Common Core State Standards, aligns instruction accordingly, and communicates real-world applications to his students. ... Constantly seeking to gain a better understanding of his students enables him to tailor instruction to meet individual needs. Along with student input, he incorporates rubrics and organizers as guides for writing, while providing immediate feedback to students during the writing process. Scott's adept ability to integrate technology into classroom instruction allows his students to cultivate college and career ready skills. He maintains an impressive website (thompsonteach.com) that allows both students and parents access to all assignments and resources pertinent to the curriculum. In recent years, Scott has endeavored to introduce his students to contemporary authors.... Scott thinks outside of the box when engaging students."

A pencil + Mr. Thompson = FUN
"I found it easier just to write any topic as the year went by, I've learned a lot in your class. I understand how to write about prompts. Overall, I loved your class! Not being a kiss up either! I want to be a writer and now strive to be because of this year. I'm glad you were my teacher for 7th grade!
