I have over a decade of experience teaching World Languages at the middle school and high school levels. I am currently a middle school French teacher.
When I first started teaching a decade ago, I realized that the resources provided to me were lacking in several key areas, so I decided to create my own! I am so thrilled to be able to share them with you!
The resources that I use in my World Language classroom are communicative, engaging, proficiency-based, cognitively rigorous, and whenever possible, FUN! In my own teaching, I infuse comprehension-based strategies (CI/TPRS) with general education best practices to ensure that my students acquire language passively while actively learning the systems and structures of the language.
My resources include the following elements: EDITABLE Google Slides Presentations & Google Docs Student Class Notes, Vocabulary Lists, Flashcards, Graphic Organizers, Practice Worksheets, Homework Assignments, Listening & Reading Activities, Speaking & Writing Activities, Bellringers & Do-Nows, Vocabulary & Grammar Activities and Games, Task Cards, Exit Tickets, Quizzes, Roleplays, Projects & Presentations, Assessment Rubrics, Sub Plans, Cultural Activities, Printable Posters, and MORE!
Aside from teaching language and culture, I infuse literacy skills, cognitive learning strategies, and organizational skills into my lessons. I believe students learn best when they feel comfortable in your class, so that's always one of my top priorities from day one.
For me, my greatest professional achievements have been: (1) watching my students' language skills grow over time. (2) receiving positive feedback from students' families about how much they enjoy learning French in my class and (3) hearing countless stories from World Language teachers all over the world about how much their students loved my activities, how much prep time it saved them, and how helpful my resources have been to them.
