Experienced Chemistry Teacher | ESL Specialist

Sandra H.

Chemistry

I have been teaching Pre-AP and AP Chemistry for 4 years and tutoring at the college level for 2 years. I love chemistry and I love to see my students succeed in this area. I gave worked with different learning styles and I adapt easily to what the student needs. I also make data-driven decisions to focus on any weaknesses.

ESL/ESOL

My native language is Spanish, and I am highly fluent in English. With five years of teaching experience, I have successfully accommodated my English learner students. As an assistant principal, I oversee the emergent bilingual program, focusing on coaching teachers to effectively implement ESL strategies for our students.

Spanish

As an Assistant Principal of Instruction, I specialize in supporting Science, Spanish, and English Learner students. With a robust background in chemistry, I also hold a minor in Spanish, allowing me to bridge language gaps and enhance learning experiences for bilingual students. I hold a Bachelor of Science in Chemistry and a Master of Science in Cosmetic Science. My teaching experience spans both online and hybrid formats, where I have successfully taught chemistry for two years. Currently, I focus on coaching teachers in effective pedagogy, ensuring they have the tools and strategies needed to succeed in today’s educational landscape. My bilingual abilities enable me to connect with a diverse range of students, fostering an inclusive and supportive learning environment. I am passionate about integrating technology in the classroom and have participated in multiple professional development programs aimed at supporting special populations, including emergent bilingual students. My goal is to close educational gaps and ensure that all students have access to high-quality education, regardless of their background or circumstances.

STAAR

As an assistant principal, I coach teachers in STAAR-tested subjects such as 8th-grade science, 8th-grade social studies, 9th-grade biology, and 11th-grade US History. I coach teachers to analyze data internalize lessons, and prepare students for STAAR subjects. I coach them on mastery machine strategy for 2-3 months before the state exam. Additionally, we review best practices and apply them in the classroom for students to succeed. My content expertise is in science but I also coached social studies.
