Experience

ENG: I have been working for several years as a Preschool teacher in public schools. I enjoy creating hands-on materials that help young learners build their knowledge step by step, moving from the concrete to the abstract. ES: Llevo varios años trabajando en escuelas públicas como maestra de Educación Infantil. Me gusta crear materiales manipulativos que ayudan a los más pequeños a construir su aprendizaje paso a paso, de lo concreto a lo abstracto. EUS: Urte batzuk daramatzat eskola publikoetan Haur Hezkuntzako irakasle gisa lanean. Gustuko dut material manipulagarriak sortzea, txikienek ikaskuntza urratsez urrats eraiki dezaten, konkretutik abstraktura.

Teaching style

ENG: My teaching style is playful, dynamic, and student-centered. Most of my resources are hands-on, and many include self-assessment options. I believe learning should be an enjoyable, conscious, and meaningful journey. ES: Mi estilo de enseñanza es lúdico, dinámico y centrado en las necesidades del alumnado. La mayoría de mis materiales son manipulativos, y muchos de ellos ofrecen la opción de autoevaluación. Creo que aprender debe ser un viaje disfrutable y, al mismo tiempo, consciente y significativo. EUS: Nire irakasteko estiloa ludikoa, dinamikoa eta ikasleen beharretan oinarritua da. Nire material gehienak manipulagarriak dira, eta askok autoebaluaziorako aukera dute. Uste dut ikaskuntzak atsegina izan behar duela, baita kontzientea eta esanguratsua ere.

Awards & shining teacher moments

ENG: The best recognition I have ever received is seeing my students’ smiles when they understand or create something new. It is fascinating to watch them build their own learning and become aware of their growth. Their faces of surprise are what keep me motivated to keep creating resources. ES: El mejor reconocimiento que he recibido es ver la sonrisa de mis alumnos cuando entienden o crean algo nuevo. Es fascinante ver cómo construyen su aprendizaje y toman consciencia de su desarrollo. Sus caras de sorpresa son las que mantienen mis ganas de seguir creando materiales. EUS: Jaso dudan aitortzarik onena nire ikasleen irribarrea da, zerbait berria ulertzen edo sortzen dutenean. Harrigarria da euren ikaskuntza nola eraikitzen duten ikustea eta nola ohartzen diren euren garapenaz. Haien harridura aurpegiak dira material berriak sortzen jarraitzeko nire motibazioa.

My own education history

ENG: I hold a degree in Early Childhood Education and have always been engaged in continuous training. In recent years, alongside my work in preschool classrooms, I have also been part of the school leadership team, which has given me a broader perspective. ES: Estudié el Grado en Educación Infantil y desde entonces siempre he estado en formación continua. En los últimos años, además de trabajar en aulas de Infantil, también formo parte del equipo directivo, lo que me ha ofrecido una mirada más amplia. EUS: Haur Hezkuntzako gradua egin nuen eta ondoren beti nago etengabeko formakuntzan. Gainera, azken urte hauetan Haur Hezkuntzako geletan lanean egoteaz gain, zuzendaritza-taldean ere murgilduta nabil, eta horrek, begirada zabalagoa eskaintzen dit.

Additional biographical information

ENG: I am passionate about music, crafts, and nature. These passions often inspire the resources I create for the classroom. But what helps me the most when creating materials is learning from the children, from their stages of growth, and from their development. ES: Me apasionan la música, las manualidades y la naturaleza. Estas pasiones inspiran muchas veces los recursos que creo para el aula. Pero lo que más me ayuda a la hora de crear los materiales, es aprender de los niños/as, de sus etapas de crecimiento y de su desarrollo. EUS: Musika, eskulanak eta natura maite ditut. Pasio hauek sarritan inspiratzen dituzte gelarako sortzen ditudan baliabideak. Baina materialak sortzerakoan gehien laguntzen didana haurrengandik ikastea da, euren garapen etapak ezagutzea.
