Experience

Hello, I'm Giselle. I teach in Southern California at a Title 1 school, and I’ve been in education 20+ years. I create engaging, student-centered resources to help busy teachers and home-schooling families save time, support diverse learners, and teach with confidence.

Teaching style

I believe in student choice and inquiry-based activities. I aim to help striving students who need intervention and scaffolds to grow. Differentiation is key in all my instruction. My goal is to create engaging and relevant lessons that inspire students and make learning fun.

My own education history

My journey as an educator began when I first started teaching 3rd grade in 1999 in a transitional bilingual classroom! Since then I have been a Title 1 Bilingual Resource teacher supporting English Learners and teachers and I am currently teaching 5th grade. I have a BA in Spanish and a Masters degree in Educational Leadership. I work in a multilingual community and I strive to honor students' heritage in the classroom.

Additional biographical information

I am a history buff and I love to swim and travel. Bilingualism is important to me and I am a mother of two daughters who attend a Spanish Immersion school. My favorite pastimes are salsa dancing and taking care of my house plants. I have 18 and they are my babies!
