This compilation of my graduate work demonstrating my growth as an educator, in the fields of ESL and Spanish, in what has been a very challenging and rewarding year.<\/p>\n

I started my journey toward education from a very early age. Growing up in Mexico, my parents were both educators and transmitted to me early their passion for teaching and learning. Throughout my high-school years I was steered into volunteering for an organization that recruited and taught Freirean literacy campaigns in rural Mexico and Central America to the illiterate.\u00a0These early experiences instilled in me a passion for language teaching.<\/p>\n

Throughout my year as a Master of Arts in Teaching student at Clark, I gained valuable experience and demonstrated growth and progress in my teaching philosophy and practice. \u00a0Clark\u2019s program is uniquely immersive, intensive, and self-reflective, requiring a year-long practicum and emphasizing collegial learning through the rounds process. \u00a0My teaching practice has been built on Clark\u2019s student-centered, authentic, and collaborative foundational values, but is shaped most by my students at South High Community School, where I completed my practicum. \u00a0Their creativity, innovation, and spirit inspires me every day. \u00a0I owe so much of my growth as a teacher to them.<\/p>\n

As you explore my portfolio, you will witness first-hand my journey in becoming a high school Spanish and ESL teacher \u2013 the development of my teaching philosophy, the challenges I faced, my growth and self-reflection, and most importantly, my many meaningful experiences in the classroom. \u00a0Enjoy!<\/p>\n
