Integrative

Here is a collection of media that portrays my teaching in action both with young students and adults. It is inspiring for many how language integration is at the core of my practice as a content teacher.

This is a math lesson focused on visualization as I applied reading strategies to  word problems. The students loved creating their own stories! @MVCS

In this video, I am leading a professional development workshop for teachers. This is an example of my initiative to collaborate and share knowledge with my colleagues.

Here are two products of student collaboration to present the weather forecast using complex academic vocabulary in their second language and innovative technology. I am delighted with the results. Both presentations are genuine!

These are artifacts of a learning sequence I planned within a unit of study of electricity. My primary goal was to make the study of electricity relevant to students' lives by making connections to home,  arithmetic and writing skills. It was a multi-faceted and well-organized learning sequence that I enjoyed facilitating. 

This is a student-guided debate about renewable and non-renewable energies that portrays evidence of authentic use of academic language in Spanish as a second or first language. Language use was scaffolded and it helped students support their claims.  I am thrilled with their engagement and advocacy!

Here is a literacy-rich interactive activity that I designed to help students interpret weather maps and make predictions.  It helped students visualize their own predictions and made learning so much more memorable.
