Spanish Countries & Capitals TPR Activity
¡Hola Amigos! Have you been searching for a new way to teach the Spanish-speaking countries and capitals besides music and maps? Well, I have come up with an activity that incorporates movement – that elusive TPR (Total Physical Response) – that gets kids moving while learning. This is NOT a remote learning activity. Of course continue to use the songs/videos – maybe even as a warm-up to this activity – and then add in this activity that will take about 20-30 minutes, depending on the size of t

Teaching style
She believes that learning a language should be fun and teaching it must be joyful, while the lessons and activities are always ACTFL standards-based.
When teaching soft skills such as leadership and character, she uses a variety of teaching strategies and resources that meet the students where they are and personalize the learning objectives. She co-taught a course called The Culture of Respect, at Drexel University, where she applied educational theories in order for students to learn difficult social emotional concepts through discussion (social constructivism) and storytelling. Her Master's thesis at UPenn was "Discourse in the Classroom." She has adapted some of these ideas for her course, "A Crisis of Leadership: Building Character & Integrity."
