I have planned and incorporated Spanish teaching lessons, applying systematically the American Council on the Teaching of Foreign Languages (ACTFL) guidelines and methodologies, integrating learning performance descriptors such as interpretive, interpersonal, and presentational. I have integrated instructional technology in my lesson plans for remote or in person teaching courses, applying the following software programs such as PowerSchool, Google Classroom, incorporating tutoring, classwork and assignment worksheets, and cyber Spanish learning resources.
