About the store

Experience

El Puente Bilingüe offers Spanish curriculum for mainstream and Montessori learners. Its approach helps students to become more autonomous so that they can be empowered throughout their lives as language learners. A little about my background and experience: BILINGUAL EDUCATION *Bilingual classroom teacher (lower elementary) in a bilingual education one-way program *Bilingual classroom teacher in a dual language two way program. *Homeschooled my bilingual son during his 2nd-4th grade years. *Middle School Dual language (AP Spanish 4 and Media Studies) MONTESSORI *Montessori assistant guide *Spanish as a world language at beginner and heritage speaker levels *ESL coordinator *Reading interventionist INTERNATIONAL BACCALAUREATE Spanish teacher - MYP (Middle Years Programme)

Teaching style

My focus is on independent work and small groups, which is reflected in my curriculum. My materials are easily adaptable to meet the needs of a wide variety of educators. Homeschooling families, adult learners, conventional schools, and alternative educational settings can all benefit from the things I am sharing in this store. IMPORTANT: My work does not contain "vosotros" as I teach Latin American Spanish.

Awards & shining teacher moments

No award is greater than a nice note of appreciation from a student, and I have received many of those throughout the years. I am a lifelong learner, and when I did my Master's a few years ago I maintained a 4.0 average throughout my graduate studies.

My own education history

I have a Master's of Education in Curriculum and Instruction with a Concentration in Bilingual Education, as well as a Bachelor of Arts in Spanish and Communication Arts. I am currently certified to teach Spanish and ESL. I am working on a new endeavor with sound healing, using crystal singing bowls, and am on the path to earning a certification in using crystal singing bowls to support children in establishing a calmer, more centered state.

Additional biographical information

Being bilingual and bicultural is central to who I am as a person and as a professional. By opening up my mind and heart at an early age to other cultures, I was able to gain a better understanding of the world, and, on a practical level, was able to find work rather easily because of my Spanish-speaking abilities. I have made it my mission as an educator to offer that same opportunity to others. The variety of experiences that I have had have helped me to expand my knowledge as an educator and deepened my knowledge and creativity.
