As Head of Teaching and Learning, I supervised curriculum building and led planning sessions and moderations. I have also facilitated and attended numerous local and overseas professional development training. My strong background in Linguistics allows me to provide students with a solid understanding of how language functions. In my classroom instruction, my teaching is full of energy, innovative and creative, producing high engagement in student learning. Creating an inclusive and culturally responsive learning-centered environment while placing the students’ needs at the heart of teaching is a paramount factor in my professional philosophy. I believe that every student has the ability to succeed in life when given equal and diverse learning opportunities. IB Librarian; Category 1 LANGUAGES English: Native Speaker Spanish: Native Speaker
