I am bicultural and bilingual, since I was born in Mexico, but have lived extensively both in the United States and Mexico. I obtained a Masters of Education in Secondary Education as well as Bachelors of Arts degrees in Mathematics and Philosophy at the University of Missouri- St. Louis. I recently retired after 27 years of teaching. I have material for sale on Teacher's Pay Teachers so check out my store https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Store/Royaltis. Also since I tend to get questions on how to handle some common teaching concerns or how exactly to implement something I have created a Facebook group called RoyAltis Veteran Teacher. So you can ask to join and we can discuss your concerns on this page. I hope this page will be helpful especially to new teachers. Check it out and join.
