About Me

My name is Diana. I have been working in an urban school district since 2007. I have taught first and fourth grade, prior to becoming an ELL teacher. A lot of our  schools are 90% free and reduced lunch, with a high population of Hispanic students at some schools. I love teaching in that kind of school setting because I feel like that is where I am needed the most. It helps that I am able to relate with a lot of my students and their parents since I am also from an immigrant family, and I can understand some of the trials they are going through. During my third year of teaching I realized that I had become very passionate about technology in the classroom. I try to continue to find ways to use technology in the classroom not to replace a teacher, but to aid the teacher in whole group and small group instruction. I enjoy training my staff members over our new technology as well as teachers from our district because it not only allows me to share things that I know, but it allows me to learn from other educators about different things that they do in the classroom.
