From Elementary to High School

New Position

I am super excited to share with you that I am starting a new position for 2018 - 2019 school year...I will now be a HIGH SCHOOL ESL teacher!!!
Working with high school ESL students it's a desire that it's been in my heart for quite some time now. I understand first hand the struggles and huddles newcomer high school students are facing as they begin their educational journey in the USA. It is my hope that my personal experiences and 14 years in an elementary setting, have equipped me with the skills I need to support students are Concord HS. 
I am very sad to leave Irvin Elementary!! I've built great relationships with students, parents, and staff. However, I feel very strong about this change. It's the right time. 

I must admit that I am a little nervous. New content, new staff, new students, new EVERYTHING! However, the excitement and passion I feel about this change is going to help me adjust to all new changes. 

Wish me luck...and send any HS resources my way please...I'll be needing all the support I can get.

Life is about trusting your feelings, taking chances, finding happiness, learning from the past, and realizing everything changes.

‼️ It’s official ‼️
