Maestra Walker

I have been an educator since 2006. I have taught English as a foreign language abroad and Spanish here in the United States. In my career I have taught students from 4 years old to adult and class sizes ranging from 5 to 60 students. Currently I teach Spanish to over 200 students from Pre-Kindergarten through 8th grade at a parochial school.

I put a strong emphasis on using authentic materials and getting students to engage in true interpersonal communication. I also work hard to incorporate cross-curricular connections in my units.

In December of 2014 I graduated from the University of Southern Mississippi with a Master of Arts in the Teaching of Languages. I completed my M. Ed. program at Marylhurst University in July of 2017. I am licensed by the state of Oregon to teach Spanish and ESOL to students from prekindergarten through 12th grade.

In my spare time I love to go for hikes in the woods, read books, or play with my dog. Learn more at http://maestrawalker.weebly.com
