TEACHING EXPERIENCE

31 years of classroom experience in French, Spanish, and Latin, all levels. Now I teach at our local community college and I am loving it. Meanwhile I have decades worth of teaching materials that worked for me along the way so I have decided to share them here!

MY TEACHING STYLE

Definitely a mix of it all--traditional, grammar, CI, TPRS... I like to mix it up so I hit everyone's learning style at some point in each lesson. I am a big SmartBoard educator, lots of stuff in SmartNotebook that turned out to be great lessons and fun interactive activities that my students loved! Wide variety of listening, reading, writing, speaking, hands-on, games, SmartNotebook stuff, PowerPoints... the list is exhaustive. I try to include as many different kinds of activities in each unit as I can to address as many learning styles as I can. My lessons are creative, engaging, and fun!
