I have the absolute pleasure of teaching high school Algebra 1 with approximately 36 students per period. On average 30% of my students are English Learners who have arrived in the US from Latin America within the last year. My students are eager to learn and so full of fun energy. They become so excited and proud of themselves when they understand a new concept. I love watching their Ah-Ha moments. My philosophy is that every student is welcome in my class; every student is capable of learning; and building relationships with my students, and among my students, is my top priority. My students work in table groups to support and challenge each other in a family environment. Thank you so much for making a difference in all of our futures!
