AI Guidance | Academic Integrity Statement:
- To be college-, career-, and community-ready, students in the Deer Valley Unified School District are expected to demonstrate academic integrity. Academic integrity is all about being honest and fair in your schoolwork. It means doing work that is entirely your own and giving credit to others (including generative Artificial Intelligence tools) through proper citation when you use their ideas or words.
- If you have questions about the guidelines for academic integrity, you should discuss them with your teacher.

About the Teacher
Mrs. Harding
Hello! I am a full-time online teacher for Aspire! I teach ELA grades 9-12, honors courses, AP Lang, and Creative Writing. I have a bachelor's degree in Political Science, and a degree in Education from Arizona State University (Go Devils!). I have my masters' degree in Curriculum and Instruction from Grand Canyon University.
I have three boys who go to school in the district. Talen is 13, Keyan is 10, and Riggs is 6! They keep me busy. We love to travel and in the past few years have visited Spain, Sweden, Denmark, Greece, and Belgium.
Teaching is my passion, not just my job. I believe every student can be successful and I will promote a positive learning environment in which all students can succeed. Teaching is a lifelong learning experience and I cannot wait to learn and grow this year with my students. I am lucky to get to work with students like you!
