Experience Summary
I have extensive work experience and knowledge in the areas of Adult Education and Literacy, teaching English as a Second Language, Math and Science. I would like to share my enthusiasm for these subjects, and education in general.
My teaching experiences in Adult Education and Literacy at Northside ISD, San Antonio Texas have allowed me to work with students from diverse backgrounds. During my teaching positions, I developed many skills including curriculum development, written and verbal communication skills, and sensitivity for diverse cultures.
In the classroom, I create a student-centered where students have an opportunity to work collaboratively and share their ideas with me in constructing the learning and teaching process, rather than a teacher-centered environment. I am an energetic and enthusiastic instructor, constantly interacting with students. I don’t want students to believe something just because their textbook says. I help students to think critically, question critically, and analyze critically.

And while my classes are by no means easy, I prepare my students for life, even if that means having students leave my class with “their head hurting” because they had to think too much. I believe my ultimate philosophy has been that learning should hurt a little bit. If the classroom environment is not provocative, controversial, and challenging, I think the teacher has fallen short of his or her task. On the other hand, I am not afraid of being down-to-earth, funny, or look unusual if I have to do so.
My fundamental belief is that providing educational opportunities to learners from all backgrounds and all ages not only will ensure their chances of success in life, but will also ensure that we live in a just and fair society. I recognize and appreciate democracy in my classroom.
