The high school — like the rest of Dallas ISD — is now closed and will remain so until the coronavirus crisis ebbs. In the meantime, instruction at TJ will now happen strictly online. And that’s an extra hurdle for Slosser’s students, all of whom have been in the country for less than a year and are learning to speak English.
Slosser says that there’s little question the new reality will be a challenge. But it is one that she’s ready to tackle. Now is the time to be experimental, she says, and explore the limits of technology as it relates to language acquisition.
Her students, by and large, are technologically savvy and resilient, she says. “We have a big village of educators who are anxious, but willing to take this on. We’ve got to be strong for the kids and make the best of this situation.”
It’s that type of enthusiasm and inventiveness that makes the sixth-year teacher special, says Sandy Massey, TJ’s principal.
“She’s an example and a model for the kind of teachers we look for,” Massey says.

As proof of her knack for problem-solving, just look at how Slosser is trying to help students like Maynor Caal, who is learning English as a third language, through his second language, Spanish.
Maynor is one of about 30 students at Thomas Jefferson who speak Q’eqchi’ (pronounced kek-chee) as their native language.
