Thanks for stopping to read my webpage.  My name is Jane Bowman.  I teach English to English Learners.  I am a graduate of Peace College and Campbell University.  I am a North Carolina native.   This is my 16th year of teaching.  Twelve of those years have been at Clayton High School.  Clayton High School provides an enriching, inviting, and thought -  provoking environment  for all of its students.  The faculty and staff are among the best that North Carolina has to offer.  I love working here and love working with my students.  I provide a challenging, yet nurturing environment in my classroom and welcome each and every student.  

This year Clayton High School has the most English Learners than its ever had.  Some of the countried represented are:  Spain, Thailand, Colombia, Ukraine, Sierra Leone, Zimbabwee, Honduras, Mexico, El Salvador, Venezuela, Afghanistan, and the Hawiian Pacific Islands.  We are currently working on things that range from beginning phrases to vocabulary to reading fiction and non fiction.  Students help lead the classroom and are allowed opportunities to work in groups and at their own pace.
