There is no better feeling as a language teacher than equipping students with strategies needed to figure out the grammar, make cultural connections, and feel empowered to teach their peers - that's when the magic happens! My lessons and activities are student-centered and help motivate and engage students to take ownership of their language learning. Student confidence increases with my lessons because they learn the tools and literacy strategies needed to make connections and collaborate with peers to figure out the grammar, vocabulary, and culture. Students feel successful in my classroom, and their growth in language proficiency and increase of cultural awareness and connections show it!
I am currently teaching Spanish 4 honors, Spanish 5, and Spanish 6 in a highly rated public high school in Connecticut. I have also had experience teaching 8th grade Spanish, Spanish 1, 2, and 3.
