Hola, I am Sra. Castillo! I am so excited to be your Spanish teacher this school year!
I have been teaching Spanish in Polk County, FL for 14 years at the middle and high school level. I have worked in the development, design, and implementation of the Polk County’s curriculum maps. I continuously contribute to the improvement of WL teaching and learning through professional development presentations in topics such as technology and Comprehensible Input. I strongly believe that learning a new language expands students’ horizons, and is constantly seeking innovative ways to make language learning fun and engaging. I have attended conferences and trainings on Teaching Proficiency through Reading and Storytelling, implementing successfully in my classroom using interpretive listening methodologies under the umbrella of Comprehensible Input.
My passion is teaching Spanish to children in a way that is, creative, FUN and meaningful to everyday life. Feeling loved and having fun while learning Spanish is the perfect combination for children and makes them excited to learn and eager to return to class each week!
