About me |
I have been teaching Spanish at Providence Heights Alpha School to students in kindergarten through 8th grade for over 10 years. I was born and raised in São Paulo, Brazil and attended law school in South America. I aspired to become a teacher because she enjoys serving others and feels teaching is rewarding. I take pride in touching the lives of my students and feels as if I am making the world a better place one student at a time. In my classroom, I encourage her students to ask questions, work hard and be creative with their talents. I always makes sure that what the students are learning in class is relevant in order to prepare them for high school, work and life. I allow my passion for teaching to show through in her lessons and strives to inspire her students. I believe that educators exist to produce good people, not just good test results. My biggest reward is when her former students visit and tell her, “Señora Barker, no one could have prepared us better for high school. We have all of the skills needed to succeed. Gracias, Gracias for teaching us!” |
