The French Gallery

Bonjour! My name is Sandrine and I am a native of France. I moved to the United-States in 2004 when I started teaching. I have two Master's degrees in French and Secondary Education. The majority of my teaching experience took place in High-School (public, charter, and private). During my time as a teacher, I have been able to enhance my skills in teaching the common core standards and the Advance Placement (AP). My passion is in developing classroom resources that will enhance student learning and engagement. My mission is to give teachers the tools to create a classroom environment where students are able to thrive and grow as learners.

No matter which level I am teaching , I exclusively use authentic materials in the classroom (materials which are designed for native speakers; they are real texts; designed not for language students, but for the speakers of the language). Authentic materials: ✎ Help prepare learners for the ‘real’ world of communication; ✎ Guide learners toward the language they need for their particular context; ✎ Motivate learners to communicate, because they help make communication ‘real’. In addition, I introduce the 6 AP themes in all levels.
