Jefferson Middle School 2003-2007

I taught at Jefferson Middle School for three years.  I taught 7th grade language arts in English and 7th and 8th grade Spanish for Bilinguals.  At Jefferson, I developed my classroom management skills and worked with a diverse student population.  I also learned a great deal about New Mexico culture and how to teach heritage Spanish speakers.  I decided to leave Jefferson to challenge myself at teaching at the high school level.  Click here to find out more about Jefferson Middle School.  Some of the teachers that I worked closely with to develop curriculum and instructional methods were Maria Padilla-Enyart (enyart@aps.edu) and Kate Bloom (bloom@aps.edu)
