Michel Chenelle


Bio

I am Michel Chenelle and I will be teaching 7th grade Language Arts, Social Studies, and Publishing. After receiving a B.A. in Theater Arts from U.C.L.A. in 1981 I worked both domestically and internationally in the theater and the arts. In 2002, after spending a summer volunteering in Ghana, I decided to become a teacher and received my teaching credential from Cal State Los Angeles.

I started my career at CHIME as a para-educator where I also had the opportunity to complete my student teaching. I have been involved with the Drama program since 2004, as well as responsible for the publication of the school newspaper and yearbook.

I try to create a class environment where all students can feel successful accessing the curriculum. I am committed to constructing meaningful lessons that will not only help students grasp necessary concepts, but will help them understand how these concepts are used in everyday life.
