An Electronic Teaching Portfolio

 

Bienvenidos and welcome to my electronic teaching portfolio! This site contains all kinds of information about my studies, my work as a teacher, and myself in general. It also has plenty of sample lesson plans and units!

I also provide evidence for each of the 10 principles of the Interstate New Teacher Assessment and Support Consortium (INTASC) as required by Teacher Education in the Sciences and the Humanities (TESH). Even though my current concentration is in teaching ESL, you will find that many of these materials come from my experiences as a Spanish teacher.

I recognize the importance of technological proficiency in education but maintain that a teacher's interactions with students in a classroom setting are a much better indication of their teaching abilities. Because not all of you will have the opportunity to observe me actively teaching, I hope this website will give you a better idea of who I am as a person and as a teacher. With that in mind, feel free to look around!
