St. Bernard's High School - Fitchburg, MA
I currently teach Spanish at St. Bernard's High School. My main job is to build meaningful connections with students by enforcing social-emotional learning practices in the classroom and providing excellent classes. I am also in charge of creating the Spanish curriculum for the school.
As part of my work on creating a curriculum that adapts to the student's needs, I'm writing a Spanish workbook titled La Guagua. I began writing it after realizing that the current Spanish programs in the market offer lots of content to teach, but very few exercises for students to learn. The text aims to facilitate vocabulary retention and to improve reading, and writing learning targets.
Outside the classroom, I'm also involved in supervising the school's soccer club.
Middlesex Community College - Lowell, MA
Middlesex Community College - Lowell, MA
I worked as a Supplemental Instruction Leader (teacher assistant) for two years at Middlesex Community College in Lowell, MA. I also worked as a tutor and received a tutor certification through their Academic Center of Enrichment. In doing so, I learned how to support students through cooperative learning.
Instituto Canzion - El Salvador
Instituto Canzion - El Salvador
I became a music teacher when I was eighteen. After earning the only full scholarship that Canzion Institute of Music offered for two consecutive semesters, I began teaching music theory in their certificate program. Having to teach without any pedagogical background to start with was challenging. Fortunately, I had excellent mentors, like Marcos Witt’s former guitarists Roberto Prado and Dr. Miguel A; he instructed me well in both the technical and the pedagogical aspects of teaching music. I also learned how different it was teaching youths as opposed to teaching adults. I taught at the Compasion-Canzion school extension — where I focused in teaching children around the age of 12 to 14. My favorite part of teaching at Canzion was the ‘gala’ — a concert where teachers and students got to show up their talent. Without a doubt, Canzion was where I found out that I could learn and teach at the same time. Little did I know that this would not be my last meaningful educational experience.
