TEACHING EXPERIENCE

Bonjour! ¡Hola! I’m Lisa from EXPLORE! Curriculum. I’m an experienced, enthusiastic classroom teacher who loves developing activities to help my students EXPLORE! I’ve taught English, French, and Spanish in grades 6-12 for over 20 years; 12 of those years were in international schools in Cameroon, Africa and in the Philippines. I'm currently helping build a French magnet program for middle school. I’m also a frequent workshop presenter, and I love helping teachers deepen their reading, vocabulary, and speaking instruction in their classrooms. Reach out if you’d like to discuss my workshop offerings!

MY TEACHING STYLE

I believe the best learning is guided play, and my resources are designed to help students experience the joy of discovering new content. I use comprehensible input, lots of production, and a hands-on / kinesthetic element for reinforcing language structure. Please EXPLORE! my store for these great resources: Conversation Templates to help students engage in real interpersonal speaking, Authentic Vocabulary to introduce vocabulary through authentic sources Randomized Dot to Dot’s to help language students practice hearing and saying numbers, Sentence Builders in French & Spanish to teach grammar through physical activity, and more exciting resources coming soon!
