Ambassador

Sarah Espinal holds a bachelor’s degree in Adolescent Education with a concentration in Social Studies and a master’s in TESOL (Teaching English as a Second Language). She is currently set to teach four 7th grade social studies classes, an ENL 7–8th Grade Civics class, and an 11th Grade U.S. History class. Espinal has been teaching U.S. History for four years. Teaching history has been a strong passion of hers, as she believes it is important to teach students about the past and civics and help them connect it to current events and their daily lives. Another reason she is motivated to teach social studies is to help students make informed decisions. Through her teaching, Espinal provides students with choice and different modes of learning and expressing their learning. She has done this through project-based learning projects and looks forward to incorporating more modes such as art. Choice is essential for ensuring all students, including diverse learners, have the best opportunities to express themselves and exemplify their understanding.
