Teaching with Music

​Immersion through music
Music brings incredible life to the classroom and is a great way to start the day. By using songs in the first five minutes, students are energized and reset into to a full immersion experience. The procedure is simple, but the results can be impressive.

Teaching with Comprehensible Input
Using CI in the classroom
In my classroom, full immersion in the Spanish language occurs through “CI”, or “Comprehensible Input”, as well as through a method called “TPRS”. Click below to find out how to bring Comprehensible Input to your world language classroom.

Teaching with Technology
Using technology in the classroom
Using technology in the world language classroom helps to bring the language into student's lives. In our fast-paced, globalized world, our future leaders must be proficient in technology, and the language classroom is a great place to start. 

Teaching with Film
Using Spanish language films to promote fluency
Using films can lead to great success for students in world language courses. If you're looking for opportunities to teach your students about social justice in Latin America in a comprehensible way, look no further.

Teaching Social Justice
Bringing social justice into the classroom
Teaching in Baltimore City requires a cultural and social awareness to the issues effecting the city's residents. Throughout my time in Baltimore, I developed multiple lesson plans focused on advocacy (see The Advocacy Project) and broader issues in Social Justice in the United States and Latin American countries.
