Mission Statement

• My goal is to facilitate students' acquisition of
  a foreign language. I hope to develop their
  mastery of the four vital skills of communication
  (reading, writing, speaking and listening) while
  providing them the opportunity to learn another
  culture's music, art, literature and history.
• To facilitate this, I will use real-life
  experiences, the use technology and Total
  Physical Response (TPR), online tutorials, etc.
• As part of the department, I will work as a team
  and collaborate in order to help our students
  meet the ISBE standards and as well our district
  standards.

Philosophy of Teaching

• In an increasingly diverse society, a second
  language is essential and should be part of every
  young person's education. I believe it is my job
  to expose students to all aspects of a language
  and increase their knowledge base on the
  French/Spanish speaking world.
