À propos de moi

Hello Verbling community! I have been a public school teacher in the United States for seventeen years. I began my career teaching health and physical education in VA for three years. I transitioned to teaching fifth grade in New Jersey for a ten year span. I was then asked to teach technology and STEM classes at the same school, which I have done for the last four years. In addition to to teaching I have also been a basketball and soccer coach. Other extra-curricular activities I was in charge of were Student Government, Interact, and a Run Club.
My credentials include a BA in Education and two MA degree (Elementary Education and Instructional Technology). Included within those are an ESL certification and a Google Level One certification. I have also been taking Spanish lessons over the last four years.
My teaching style is a student-centered active learning philosophy. I believe that classrooms should be collaborative and combine various activities, including Problem-Based Learning (PBL). Students learn best when they are engaged in the content and are working because they are intrinsically motivated. I believe in giving constant feedback in the form of a narrative so that students may grow and improve. I also believe in allowing (and encouraging) students to fail.
My approach to learning a language is to incorporate a hands-on approach where students are active learners. This includes role-play scenarios, games, and other activities that allow students to collaborate. Grammar is obviously an important skill, but I also think teaching about the culture of the language is equally important. In addition, I think it is important to use different multimedia such as YouTube, television and music as a way to enhance the learning process. I know in my experience as a Spanish language learner this helped me. Another huge help was spaced repetition learning. An example is the use of flashcards over intermittent time to strengthen long-term memory of the language. Finally, I also think it is important for students to keep a language journal that they write in daily.
