Experience
Hi, I'm Ruby! ♥️ I am deeply passionate about creating teaching resources that meet the diverse needs of students, especially multilingual learners or emergent bilinguals. My heart is dedicated to ensuring every child feels supported and empowered to succeed. I have spent more than 15 years developing and refining curriculum and 7 years of dedicated classroom teaching experience across various subjects including Science, Mathematics, and Language Arts.
Teaching style
My teaching style is grounded in empathy and respect, tailored to accommodate diverse learning styles through hands-on activities and differentiated instruction. I employ the gradual release method— "I do it, we do it, you do it together, you do it"— ensuring students can engage with and relate to meaningful, real-world activities. By providing appropriate modeling, scaffolds, and support, I believe English learners in mainstream classrooms can successfully master grade-level curriculum.
Additionally, I integrate Task-Based Language Teaching (TBLT) into my approach, emphasizing the use of authentic tasks that mirror real-life situations. This method fosters meaningful communication, learner-centered interactions, and the practical application of language skills, creating a dynamic and engaging learning environment for all students.
My own education history
I am trained in Language Essentials for Teaching Reading and Spelling (LETRS) and hold certification in Teaching English as a Second Language (ESL).
TPT is the largest marketplace for PreK-12 resources, powered by a community of educators.
