Teaching Experience

Comunidad de Madrid: So Melissa, have you ever taught before?

Me: Well, to date the only experience I have teaching is on the university level. I have served as a Graduate Assistant.

Comunidad de Madrid: No experience teaching primary students between the ages of 3-12?

Me: No, not as of yet.

Comunidad de Madrid: No worries, we're sure you'll manage just fine..

Me: I'm sure I will.. *insert smile*

Characteristics and features of Asuncion Rincon:

My school is a primary school. Our students range from infantil up to sexto (Pre-K - 6th). The school utilizes a community of teachers that teach a myriad of classes via periodic exchanges. The students at my school remain in the same classroom all day (aside from music and p.e) otherwise the teachers are responsible for switching between periods to cover their respective periods.All the teachers eat lunch together, which establishes a communal, family dynamic between the teachers and staff members.

My 2018-2019 school placement is... :

Expectations for the Language Assitant Programme:

During my time as a LA, I expect to be a valued part of Asuncion Rincon’s staff. I expect to be involved in the classroom by way of one on one sit downs with teachers to determine how my skill set can be best utilized. I expect the coordinator or the LA program to hold regular meetings the LAs to ensure that we have everything we need to be successful in the classroom. I also expect for each classroom to be welcoming and receptive to what I have to offer as a cultural contributor.

I attended The University of Central Florida and earned my degree in Interpersonal/Organizational Communication. I’ve had the best time applying many of the things I learned to the classroom here in Spain.

Personal Background and interests related to the Final Project:

My personal background is in Communications. In my native country I worked in various capacities that emphasized administrative management. My interests, as they relate to the final project revolves around utilizing cultural exchange to encourage students to embrace language learning. More specifically, I hope to illustrate the usefulness of learning English. My efforts most emphasized the importance of interpersonal communication to the ESL program.

I am from the sunshine state! I left for college and have yet to return (permanently) that is.. now I’m in Spain living my best life!
