About me |
Hello! Hola! Soy Tishanna DeFoor. I am Tishanna DeFoor and I have been teaching 13 years. I graduated from Kennesaw State University in 2002 with a BS in Foreign Language Education-Spanish and from Lesley University with a MA in Technology Education in 2008. I lived in Oaxaca, Mexico and studied at the Instituto Cultural Benito Juarez during my junior year of college. I have visited various countries including Spain, Portugal, France and the Cayman Islands. I speak Spanish, French and English along with being literate in Italian and Portuguese. I love languages and language studies therefore I have also studied Greek, German, Chinese and Arabic. My accolades include GHP participant and later an interviewer for the program; Outstanding Student Teacher in Foreign Language, Teacher of the Year, and president of Sigma Delta Pi (an Academic Greek society for Spanish). I was also one of 30 teachers chosen from the state of GA to be involved with the Costa Rican Environmental Program with the University of GA. I am highly qualified to teach P-12 Spanish in GA, FL and TN. I am ESOL and Gifted endorsed along with being AP Spanish language certified (of which 2 non-native speakers have scored a 5; I am so proud of those students!). I am a member of AATSP, ACTFL, GAE, TEA & NEA so that I am able to stay abreast of all new pedagogy and teaching methodologies. I regularly check the Real Academia Española to check common vocabulary use and acceptable grammar to ensure proper academic progress for my students. Please use these activities on this site to enhance your language learning! |
